A Saskatoon judge says the combination of alcohol and anger ended in domestic violence when a Saskatoon man threatened his girlfriend with a shotgun last year.

“It’s concerning when anger and alcohol result in this type of conduct, because it very often ends in someone’s death, whether intentionally or unintentionally,” Judge Marilyn Gray told Kihew Moccassin during the man’s sentencing hearing last month in Saskatoon’s Domestic Violence Treatment Option (DVTO) court.
