Canadian Criminal Sentencing/Offences/Attempted Murder

Application
The primary consideration is denunciation and deterrence.

Where the attempted murder, in particular a shooting, occurred in a public place is an aggravating factor.

A serious gun offence where a person is wounded by a gun shot will range from 7 to 11 years. However, attempted murder with a firearm is in the range of 10 years to life regardless of the role played.
