Terry Good has a bit of history in this area. He's from a good, local family but he's been in the news in the past.

A man found guilty in the shooting of Kitchener landlord Terry Good had his sentencing delayed Wednesday.
[George Carter] was acquitted in October of attempting to murder Good, and found guilty of the aggravated assault charge and several weapons offences.

Quote:
The charges were the result of the July 29, 1998 incident in which [George Carter], 53, shot Good, 49, four times with a sawed-off shotgun outside [Terry Good]'s Mount Hope street home. Carter testified he systematically carried out the attack in revenge against Good for allegedly setting him up in a botched drug deal ten years earlier.
Justice Reilly based his decision largely on evidence that showed even though Carter's shots were fired at close range, they did not strike Good in areas which would have proved fatal. Recent testimony from a ballistics expert could not prove how accurately Carter had aimed. Nevertheless, Good suffered substantial life-threatening injuries leading to the loss of his spleen and a kidney.
The judge was careful not to diminish Carter's actions. He said if Good had died, there would be "overwhelming evidence" for a first-degree murder charge, and that the choice of a sawed-off shotgun suggests an intent to kill. He had observed Carter as, "not a man to be restricted by pangs of conscience," and further stated, "at no time did he attempt to elicit the sympathy of the court."
