BEDFORD -- A Forest man will serve six years in prison for his role in a 2008 shooting.

On Friday, Bedford County Circuit Court Judge James Updike sentenced Deepraj Khan to 16 years in prison -- with 10 suspended -- for shooting and injuring Jessie Phillips in a Thaxton home.

Sandra Campbell, a co-defendant in the case, received the same sentence last month.

Khan, 20, pleaded guilty Friday afternoon to aggravated malicious wounding and the use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.

According to prosecutors in the case, Campbell lured Phillips to her home on Jan. 2, 2008, so Khan could shoot him. A conflict arose because of an altercation between Campbell and Phillips the day before.

Phillips suffered several facial gunshot wounds. One bullet was lodged in his jaw and had to be removed surgically, Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Mark Robinette said. Both Campbell and Khan have been ordered to pay restitution to Phillips, but an amount has not been determined.

The gun was never recovered. Khan was arrested in January 2008 in Georgia, where he was training with a Virginia National Guard unit.

Sandra Campbell's daughter, AmandaCampbell, who was Khan's girlfriend at the time, also was charged with aggravated malicious wounding. Earlier this month she pleaded guilty to an amended charge of being an accessory after the fact. She received a suspended jail sentence.
