Australian gun man jailed for life
An Australian man who shot a Dutch backpacker three times as he tried to break up a shooting incident was jailed for life by a Melbourne court on Monday.
Paul de Waard was hit three times when he and a lawyer tried to stop the gunman dragging a woman out of a taxi in June 2007. De Waard did not die but the lawyer was shot dead.
