Posted at 3:58pm on 02 Feb 2007
A man who was shot when he threatened a gun shop worker with a machete has been sent to jail.
Ricky Beckham's lawyer says his client was sentenced to two years and nine months' jail in the High Court at Auckland on Friday.
The unemployed man had earlier admitted a charge of aggravated burglary after the incident in Penrose in July last year.
The man who allegedly shot Beckham, Greg Carvell, says he is disgusted with the sentence.
Mr Carvell is facing a firearms charge over the incident and is due to appear in court again later this month.
