SEATTLE<\/strong> — A man who shot and killed two others who entered the garage where he was growing marijuana was sentenced this week to seven years in prison, federal prosecutors said.<\/p>\n

Jeremy Peter Capodanno,\u00a0<\/strong>37, of Puyallup, Washington, was arrested in April.<\/p>\n

During sentencing, U.S. District Judge Ronald B. Leighton said Capodanno had \u201cearned 84 months\u201d in prison.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no excuse for you to do that, to set the conditions for the fire fight in your garage is inexcusable. . . the conditions were set, the fuse was lit, and the ravage began,\u201d Leighton said<\/p>\n

Prosecutors described how Capodanno left the house with his minor son, while he took his gun and circled around the side of the house and fired back into the house through a window likely killing one of the intruders.\u00a0Capodanno is seen on the surveillance system he installed carefully aiming and shooting through the window, prosecutors allege.<\/p>\n

Evidence retrieved at the scene indicates Capodanno then went into the garage and continued to fire more than a dozen shots at the two men, killing both, according to authorities.<\/p>\n

In a sentencing memo to the court, prosecutors wrote: \u00a0Capodanno \u201cis a long-time drug trafficker, selling large amounts of marijuana for over a decade. \u00a0Based on the assets he accumulated, his illegal activity was quite lucrative, letting him live a lifestyle that included expensive real estate, high-powered ski boats, motorcycles, luxury vehicles, and other assets. \u00a0Unfortunately, like so many drug dealers, he also possessed a number of firearms. \u00a0Unfortunately his vocation also led, as it often does, to violence and death,\u201d prosecutors wrote in their sentencing memo.<\/p>\n

Under the terms of the plea agreement, Capodanno is forfeiting nearly $670,000 in proceeds from the sale of two properties — his Puyallup home and a second home in Kent, Washington. He is also forfeiting a 2008 Mercedes, a 2008 Toyota pickup truck and five firearms seized at the crime scene.<\/p>\n

Capodanno was convicted of manufacturing marijuana and possession of a firearm in relation to a drug trafficking crime, U.S. \u00a0Attorney Jenny A. Durkan said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis defendant knew the risks of drug dealing, and armed himself with multiple weapons to protect his business. \u00a0He invited violence to his child\u2019s home and \u00a0his \u00a0community,\u201d said Durkan. \u00a0\u201cHe acted as judge, jury and executioner for the two men who came to rip his illegal operation. \u00a0Our federal enforcement focus remains on those who bring violence and use firearms to protect illegal drug businesses.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

On December 6, 2012, officials said Capodanno shot two people who had entered the garage of his Puyallup residence \u2013 killing both of them. \u00a0In the garage loft was a marijuana grow with nearly 200 plants.<\/p>\n

When police officers arrived, authorities said they found Capodanno in possession of a Glock 17, 9mm semiautomatic pistol, which is the gun that Capodanno used to kill the two men.<\/p>\n

While searching Capodanno’s \u00a0truck, police found additional marijuana as well as other weapons including a Bushmaster XM-15 assault rifle; an Intratec Tec-9 9mm pistol; a Benelli 12 gauge tactical shotgun; and a Professional Ordinance MDL Carbon 15, according to federal officials.<\/p>\n
