Burke-Whittaker pulled a gun from a satchel and fired a shot in the general direction of the vehicle before fleeing.

Burke-Whittaker turned himself in following a police investigation and later pleaded guilty to a Criminal Code charge of illegal firearm possession.

An Ontario judge cited Burke-Whittaker's remorse and efforts to turn his life around in handing him a conditional sentence of two years less a day, to be followed by three years' probation with strict conditions.

A majority of the Ontario Court of Appeal dismissed the Crown's appeal, noting Burke-Whittaker had served a significant portion of his conditional sentence already and arguing sending him to prison at that point would undermine his rehabilitation.
