Shooter at Kings Plaza Shopping Center gets 9 Years for attempted murder
A 20-year-old man from the Bronx was sentenced to nine years in prison on Jan. 10 for a shooting incident at the Kings Plaza Mall in Brooklyn that left two teenage boys injured.
Timothy Briggs had previously pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in November for the shooting that took place on Jan. 31, 2022, at approximately 2:30 P.M. inside the mall. He was sentenced to nine years plus five more years of post-release supervision by Supreme Court Justice Danny Chun.
Briggs will serve a three-and-a-half year sentence concurrently for second-degree criminal possession of a weapon.
“This defendant shot two teenagers and terrorized everyone around when he opened fire on a group in a crowded mall store,” said District Attorney Eric Gonzalez. “We have no tolerance for violence and this sentence sends a clear message that gun crime in Brooklyn will be met with serious consequences.”
