A Lancaster city man has been sentenced to between 15-30 years in prison after pleading guilty to attempted homicide and eight other charges, according to the Lancaster County District Attorney's Office.

Wanyai Parker reportedly entered the victim's apartment without her permission and pointed a handgun at both the victim and her sister on September 20, 2020, according to East Lampeter Police.

As the two victims ran toward a door and away from the 23-year-old, he fired seven shots, police day.

The victim had an active PFA against Parker at the time of the incident.

During the sentencing hearing Assistant District Attorney Mark Fetterman state “it’s sheer luck this isn’t a homicide case,” and “it’s a miracle nobody was hurt.”

Parker's defense argued for a more lenient sentence saying that he "drank a large amount of alcohol before the incident and had an undiagnosed mental illness."

Parker told the victim and their family in attendance that "if I could go back in time, I’d change what I’ve done.”
