McDonnell pleaded guilty on Tuesday to knowingly being in a vehicle with a prohibited, sawed-off shotgun, being in a vehicle knowing it was taken without consent and possessing a prohibited weapon.

She told police she’d been drinking when one of her co-accused, William Roderick Gunn, picked her up. McDonnell eventually became aware that a sawed-off shotgun was in the car, which had been stolen from an acreage earlier that day, Crown prosecutor Cory Bliss said.

Following an altercation in a parking lot, Gunn allegedly hit and then pulled up beside a vehicle. Another accused, William Joseph Paul, allegedly fired into its rear passenger door. The bullet didn’t make it into the vehicle, court heard.
