“I still haven’t been able to forgive myself, and I don’t know when I will be able to,” the defendant said.

Photographs of Brittany-Mae Haag are displayed in her mother's Eagle River home. Haag died in April 2017 when she was struck by a bullet during her boyfriend's failed suicide attempt. Photographed August 2, 2017.

A November plea agreement downgraded Sibson’s murder charge to manslaughter, which carries a maximum 20-year prison sentence. In that plea agreement, prosecutors and the defense suggested a sentence of 14 years with five years suspended, for a total of nine years to serve. Superior Court Judge Erin Marston ruled in line with the agreement.“This is such an unusual event that it’s hard to imagine it ever happening again," Marston said at the sentencing hearing Wednesday.

A wounded Haag ran to a neighboring apartment yelling, “He shot himself, and I’m shot too,” according to Sibson’s plea agreement, before returning to her own apartment with a neighbor in tow. She then lay down on the floor by Sibson and died before emergency responded arrived, the agreement says.At his sentencing hearing on Wednesday, Haag’s mother, Sheila Lopez, asked Assistant District Attorney James Fayette to read a statement on her behalf.
