A Seoul court has sentenced a US soldier who shot pedestrians with a BB gun in downtown Seoul to three years in prison, Yonhap news agency reported. The 26-year-old staff sergeant, surnamed Lopez, was indicted on charges of shooting the BB gun at pedestrians and leading police on a high-speed car chase in the crowded multicultural Itaewon district of Seoul in March, leaving one South Korean police officer injured. Another U.S. soldier, a 22-year-old female specialist whose identity has been withheld, was fined 5 million won (US$4,599) for her involvement. A third U.S. soldier, a private first class who sustained a gunshot wound during the chase, was not indicted.
