HAMILTON, Ohio (AP) — A truck driver accused of fatally shooting two men and wounding three others during a rampage at a trucking company office pleaded guilty Monday in an agreement with prosecutors to avoid the death penalty. After a three-judge panel determined he was fit to stand trial, Tom West entered his pleas and was sentenced to two consecutive life terms without parole on two counts of aggravated murder, and another 40 years to be served consecutively on four counts of attempted aggravated murder.
