19-year old charged in connection with Mall shooting sentenced

A 19-year old charged in connection with a shooting at Danbury Mall last August has been sentenced.  Derek Sotelo was sentenced to a 5 year suspended jail term, and 5 years probation with special conditions.  He pleaded guilty to attempt to commit second-degree assault.  Charges of reckless endangerment, inciting a riot, inciting injury to a person, risk of injury to a minor and breach of peace were dropped.  A 15-year-old girl sustained a gunshot wound to the left side of her throat.  A 14 year old has been charged with the shooting, which led to a more-than-hour-long lockdown of the mall nearly a year ago.  Danbury Police say the shooting stemmed from a fight at the mall carnival two months prior, during which Sotelo was allegedly jumped by a group of juveniles.  He allegedly grabbed a hammer from a car parked outside and approaching the teen charged with later firing a gun.
