Wilde Lake Shooter Pleads Guilty in Retrial

A Columbia man was sentenced to 70 years after he pleaded guilty to first-degree murder before the conclusion of his retrial.

  The retrial of a Columbia man previously convicted of first-degree murder came to an abrupt end on Monday when the man pleaded guilty to first-degree murder at Howard County Circuit Court.
