Snip> A Baltimore judge had harsh words Tuesday for city police officer Gahiji Tshamba, calling his actions "repugnant" and sentencing him to 15 years in prison in the shooting death last year of an unarmed Marine veteran outside a Mount Vernon bar.
Judge Hargadon sentenced the officer to seven years for voluntary manslaughter and eight years for using a handgun in a crime of violence. <Snip
