枪击警员致其重伤退役：坎贝尔谋杀未遂罪成，被判55年至终身监禁加6年
位于加州圣贝纳迪诺县的县警长局11月6日发表声明，欢迎法院对 Nicholas Campbell 的量刑裁决。Campbell 因谋杀警员 Marcus Mason 未遂被定罪，11月6日被判处55年至终身监禁，外加6年刑期。
案发于2022年7月16日。Campbell 在 Rancho Cucamonga 市向出警处理一宗求助电话的警员 Mason 连开多枪，Mason 身受重伤、险些丧命，靠同僚与医护人员的及时抢救才幸存下来。
重伤最终迫使 Mason 医疗退役，结束了他的执法生涯。警长局表示，四年多来，Mason 与妻子 Katie 及家人承受了巨大的身心代价，两人在量刑当天的受害人陈述中讲述了这场袭击给家庭留下的持久伤害。
警长 Shannon Dicus 在声明中说，Mason 当时正在履行职责、保护他宣誓服务的社区，人生却从此改变；他感谢检控团队的付出，并表示 Mason 永远是警长局大家庭的一员，他与妻子将继续得到全局上下的支持。
警长局表示，任何刑期都无法弥补 Campbell 造成的伤害，也无法挽回 Mason 一家失去的东西，但这次量刑为这宗针对执法人员的谋杀未遂案带来了问责与一定程度的正义；该局将继续服务社区、支持每天冒着生命危险执勤的警员。

Man Who Shot Deputy Sentenced to 55 Years to Life Plus Six Years in Attempted Murder Case
The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department, in San Bernardino County, California, issued a statement on November 6 welcoming the sentencing of Nicholas Campbell, who was convicted of the attempted murder of Deputy Marcus Mason. Campbell was sentenced on November 6 to 55 years to life in state prison, plus an additional six years.
On July 16, 2022, Campbell shot Deputy Mason multiple times while Mason was responding to a call for service in Rancho Cucamonga. Mason was critically wounded and nearly lost his life, surviving thanks to the quick actions of fellow deputies and medical personnel.
Mason's injuries ultimately led to his medical retirement, ending a career dedicated to serving and protecting the community. For more than four years, Mason, his wife Katie, and their family have endured significant hardships, and their victim impact statements at the sentencing described the lasting physical and emotional toll of the attack.
Sheriff Shannon Dicus said Mason was doing his job, protecting the community he swore to serve, when his life was forever changed. He thanked the prosecution team for its dedication and said Mason will always be part of the Sheriff's Department family, with his and Katie's continued support from the entire department.
The department said no prison sentence can undo the harm Campbell caused or restore what the Mason family has lost, but the sentencing brings accountability and a measure of justice. It said acts of violence against law enforcement officers will not diminish its commitment to public safety and to serving the people of San Bernardino County.
