“Ghost guns have no place in our community,” Prosecuting Attorney Steve Alm said. “When individuals are accused of using ghost guns in acts of violence, our office will fully enforce the law as the Legislature intended.”
If convicted, Tago faces a maximum sentence of life without the possibility of parole for the first-degree attempted murder charge. Prosecutors said he would also face a mandatory minimum prison term of 25 years if convicted of using a semiautomatic firearm.
Prosecutors said Tatashy was charged as a repeat offender and, if convicted and sentenced as such, could face life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
