Shawn Kemp Sentenced for 2023 Shooting Incident

Former NBA star Shawn Kemp has been sentenced to 30 days of electronic home monitoring following his involvement in a shooting incident at a parking lot in Tacoma. The sentencing comes after Kemp pleaded guilty and faced significant legal scrutiny, with prosecutors initially seeking a jail term of up to nine months. Instead, Kemp avoided prison time and will also serve 12 months of community service. This outcome has sparked a mix of reactions, as the ex-Sonics player was previously involved in a controversial drive-by shooting case. Judge Michael Schwartz presided over the case, emphasizing the gravity of the situation while ultimately allowing Kemp a second chance.
