<p>A Milwaukee, <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/10-year-old-wisconsin-boy-fatally-shot-mother-after-she-refused-to-purchase-him-a-vr-headset/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wisconsin</a>, man named William Carson has been hit with a 16-year prison sentence, and it&#8217;s all over his response to some neighborhood kids goofing around in the snow.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">He Received 16 Years For Firing At A Group Of Children</h3>
<p>William was hit with the sentence this past Friday, according to <em><a href="https://www.fox6now.com/news/milwaukee-shot-kids-snowballs-prison" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FOX6 News</a><a href="https://www.fox6now.com/news/milwaukee-shot-kids-snowballs-prison" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Milwaukee</a></em>, and it&#8217;s related to an incident from more than three years ago.</p>
<p>Back on Jan. 4, 2020, a group of about seven kids were throwing snowballs at cars on the north side of Milwaukee. After William&#8217;s car was hit with a snowball, the man proceeded to turn around, exit the vehicle, and send out a barrage of shots as the kids frantically fled.</p>
<p>Two of the seven children were struck, with one being hit in the arm while the other sustained a thigh injury. Additionally, a third child&#8217;s jacket was grazed by a bullet.</p>
<p>After fleeing the scene, William was arrested a couple of days later, and he was apprehended while driving under the influence. Additionally, he was found with a gun, and testing revealed that it was &#8220;highly probable&#8221; that it was the same firearm used to fire shots at the kids.</p>
<p>As a result of the matter, William Carson was charged with two counts of first-degree reckless injury and five counts of recklessly endangering safety in the first-degree.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Prosecutors Initially Sought A 25-Year Prison Term</h3>
<p>While William is going away for quite some time, the prosecution was reportedly looking to secure a 25-year sentence against him.</p>
<p>This sentiment was supported by testimony provided by Monique Wilbourn, the mother of one of the children involved in the ordeal.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;You really hurt us, and I really want you to pay for what you did to my family.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Although the term wound up being less than what the prosecution wanted, we should add that William Carson will have to complete ten years of extended supervision after he&#8217;s released.</p>
