  <body>&lt;p&gt;A 19-year-old man who was the driver in a shooting that injured two Sunnyside teenagers was sentenced Wednesday to seven months in jail.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;David Guillen had earlier pleaded guilty to second-degree assault, a reduction from his original charge of two counts of first-degree assault and one count of illegal firearms possession.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Guillen had already been in custody for more time than he was ordered to serve.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bob Northcott, a special deputy prosecutor who handled the case, said he believed Guillen did not know his co-defendant was going to shoot at the pair of victims. One of the boys still has a bullet lodged in his back.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jorge Saenz, who was found guilty last month of first-degree assault, had earlier argued with the victims at the Sunnyside Wal-Mart because of their ties to a rival gang.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Saenz awaits sentencing as Northcott seeks docu-mentation to support his belief that Saenz should be sentenced to life in prison as a three-strikes offender.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He has two prior convictions for assault, although defense counsel has argued it should not count as a strike because he was a juvenile. Northcott said Saenz was convicted in adult court regardless of his age.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</body>
