Charles Bowser, 21, has been sentenced to life in prison plus 37.25 years in connection with the shooting of Deputy Scott Wood.

A Wyandotte County judge ordered the sentences to be served consecutively, according to the Wyandotte County district attorney’s office.

Wood was shot at a 7-Eleven store in the 4400 block of Shawnee Drive in Kansas City, Kansas, in March 2015 during a robbery.

Bowser was found guilty of attempted capital murder and other charges in the shooting of the Wyandotte County deputy. The deputy was in uniform when he stopped at the store on his way home, and was inside the store when it was robbed. Wood was shot seven times.

Two others, Dyron King, 25, and Cecil Meggerson, 36, both of Kansas City, Kansas, were found guilty in February 2016 of attempted capital murder in the shooting, and were also sentenced to life in prison in this case.
