Linda Lorraine Howe has been found guilty of attempted murder in the March 2009 shooting of Christenson Village manager Kenn Perrier.
Judge Francis Cole delivered the judgement along with six other guilty rulings in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver Monday morning.
In addition to one count of attempted murder, Howe was found guilty of three counts of pointing a firearm, one count of armed robbery stemming from a carjacking outside the Christenson Village building following the shooting, and one count of use of a firearm in the commission of an offence. Howe previously pleaded guilty to three firearms possession offences.
Cole, however, found Howe not guilty on two other attempted murder charges stemming from shots Howe fired in the direction of fleeing Christenson Village employees Pat Barber and Liz Dutton.
Cole has ordered a psychological assessment of Howe, which will be used in determining her sentence on Nov. 26.
