A Pueblo teenager who pleaded guilty to first-degree assault for shooting an off-duty security guard has been sentenced to 12 years in prison.
Tenth Judicial District Judge David Crockenberg sentenced 17-year-old Michael Edward Rivas on Monday, saying he was unconvinced that Rivas only shot the security guard after the guard shot at Rivas.
The security guard, Edward Martinez, was driving between job sites Oct. 24 and had stopped for a traffic signal when a group of teens approached and tapped on his window with the butt of a shotgun.
Martinez told authorities he drove through the intersection, stopped and got out of his car, and was then shot in the groin and chest with a sawed-off shotgun.
Police say Martinez's bulletproof vest may have saved his life.
