A Prince George man pleaded guilty Monday to lesser counts in relation to the the shooting of a woman in Moore's Meadow 2 1/2 years ago.

During a hearing at the courthouse, Jeff John Lapier pleaded guilty to discharging a firearm with attempt to wound and aggravated assault for the Feb.15, 2016 incident.

A charge of attempted murder against Lapier was stayed.

All counts against co-accused Ashlynn Noel Ruth Forrest, who was facing counts of attempted murder and aggravated assault, were also stayed.

Just after 5 a.m. on the day in question, RCMP were called to the Moore's Meadow area and found the woman a short time later off Foothills Boulevard. She was taken to hospital with serious injuries from what was termed a targeted shooting.

By the end of the February 2016, Lapier and Forrest had been arrested and charged.

Both Lapier and Forrest had Facebook pages at the time and in an ominous Feb. 10 posting, Lapier said "someone's going to learn" but did not elaborate.
