Tears were shed by Damien Michael Patrick Gallaher’s family as his crimes were read aloud to the Gympie court on Thursday.
Gallaher, 29, pleaded guilty to 11 charges, including dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, breaking and entering and possession of a weapon under the influence.
He was sentenced to seven years jail, but will be out on parole in just over two months, on June 27, 2021.
On February 27, 2021, Gallaher went on a shotgun rampage between Gympie and the Cooloola Coast, before he was arrested by police.
The rampage began with an argument between a drunk Gallaher and a colleague outside a local pub, where Gallaher threatened to shoot his colleague with a 12-gauge shotgun he owned.
