Laurel resident Christopher Shan Mason, 47, was sentenced to 37 years in prison on Friday, Sept. 23, after being found guilty of attempted second-degree murder, use of a firearm in a crime of violence, and illegal possession of a firearm by a Howard County jury over the summer.

He will be eligible for parole after 30 years.

Prosecutors said that on April 17, 2021, Mason fired three shots at a woman he was with at a motel on Washington Avenue - one while she was in the room and two through a window at his victim while she looked through it to see if he had left.

Mason was apprehended shortly after the shooting was reported, according to the state's attorney.
