An Altoona man has been convicted of attempted homicide, robbery, aggravated assault, terroristic threats, and other charges in connection with the shooting of a woman in Greenwood. 43 year old Justin LeFevre is already in custody… and being held at the Blair County Prison. The new charges he is now facing could mean he will be behind bars for up to the next 40 years. That’s because prosecutors are asking for consecutive sentences when LeFevre is sentenced after he was found guilty of 13 counts Wednesday afternoon, and acquitted on two. The shooting took place during business hours at the Sheetz in Greenwood when the woman showed up to sell him $1,000 worth of methamphetamine. LeFevre claims that he didn’t intend to shoot the woman… saying he just fired his 9mm handgun into the air. But police said otherwise… they say LeFevre continued to fire his gun at the woman as she and two 15 year olds ran away… hitting the woman in the shoulder. LeFevre then blamed his girlfriend of firing the shot that hit the woman.
