    A 40-year-old Laguna Niguel man pleaded guilty Friday to using a semi- automatic rifle to repeatedly fire at an Orange County Sheriff�s
    Department helicopter from his home last year, federal prosecutors said.

    On March 9, 2024, Justin Derek Jennings had been drinking during his party
    when he became angry and family members began leaving, according to the
    U.S. Attorney�s Office. After most had gone, Jennings retrieved a rifle
    from his gun safe and fired an entire magazine of ammunition inside the
    home.

    The remaining guests fled and called law enforcement, prosecutors said in
    a news release.

    Deputies responded with several units and a helicopter, which began
    circling the area. From a second-story window, Jennings fired into the
    air, shooting only when the helicopter was in view, court documents state.
    The gunfire continued intermittently for at least 20 minutes before
    Jennings surrendered, according to prosecutors.

    A search of the home turned up two revolvers, two handguns, two rifles, multiple rounds of ammunition, and bullet casings scattered across the
    floor, the release stated. Two magazines and a box of ammunition were
    found on a couch beneath the window from which Jennings fired.

    Jennings pleaded guilty to one federal count of attempting to damage,
    destroy, disable, or wreck an aircraft in the special aircraft
    jurisdiction of the United States. He is scheduled to be sentenced Jan.
    30, 2026, and faces up to 20 years in federal prison.

    The Orange County District Attorney�s Office initially filed charges in
    the case but dismissed them so the federal prosecution could move forward.

    November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
    forward to America being great again.

    We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
    stupid people won't be offended.

    Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.

    Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama
    / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.

    Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
    The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
    queer liberal democrat donors.
