A 17-year-old Vancouver boy who tried to shoot at a woman multiple times was sentenced Tuesday to 11 years in prison.

Armando Arciga-Gomez pleaded guilty in Clark County Superior Court to first-degree assault stemming from the March 12 incident. He initially was charged with attempted second-degree murder and first-degree unlawful possession of a firearm, but those charges were amended as part of a plea deal.

Arciga-Gomez was prosecuted in Superior Court because of his age and the nature of the charges.

Witnesses said he pointed a handgun at an 18-year-old woman and pulled the trigger multiple times while at Marine Park, 4501 S.E. Columbia Way, according to a probable cause affidavit. The gun didn’t fire, police said, because of a malfunction.

The woman was at the park to fight a 19-year-old woman, according to court records. She said during the fight that she saw Arciga-Gomez in a crowd of onlookers point a silver and black handgun at her head and torso from about 10 feet away. Afterward, she followed him to his car, she said, and began punching him. He then pointed the gun at her at point-blank range, the affidavit states.
