   The self-proclaimed “incel” convicted of targeting couples in a 2020 mall   
   shooting in Arizona has been handed the maximum sentence.   
      
   Armando Hernandez, 23, will spend 44 years behind bars for the mass   
   shooting that left several people injured, the Maricopa County Attorney’s   
   Office announced Friday. Hernandez, who was 20 at the time of the   
   incident, reportedly targeted couples at the Westgate Shopping Center in   
   2020 because he felt bullied, according to CBS Phoenix affiliate KPHO-TV.   
      
   “Those at Westgate on May 20 not only feared for their lives, but three   
   people received serious injuries,” County Attorney Rachel Mitchell said in   
   Friday’s release. “A maximum sentence for these crimes is justice. We are   
   fortunate that the victims in this case survived, and now a dangerous   
   individual has been removed from our community.”   
      
   Officials said Hernandez was alone when he entered the entertainment   
   district in Glendale — just northwest of Phoenix — and opened fire with an   
   AR-15 rifle in one hand and a phone in the other to post the shooting on   
   social media.   
      
   Hernandez reportedly also filmed himself driving to the mall that day,   
   showing his guns in the backseat, according to local outlet West Valley   
   View.   
      
   “Hello, my name is Armando Junior Hernandez, and I’m gonna be the shooter   
   of Westgate 2020,” he said. “This is to get back at society.”   
      
   During the attack, Hernandez seriously injured three people — a 19-year-   
   old man who was listed in critical condition after being shot in the   
   chest, a 30-year-old woman and a 16-year-old girl — but no one was killed.   
      
   Police said Hernandez had planned on killing no less than 10 people that   
   day, according to KPHO-TV, but his weapon jammed.   
      
   “He had 90 rounds of ammunition,” prosecutor Ed Leiter said during the   
   bail hearing. “But for the gun jamming, we would have been looking at many   
   more victims.”   
      
   Hernandez surrendered to police as soon as they arrived on the scene.   
      
   He would later tell authorities that he committed the crime as a means “to   
   gain respect,” and prosecutors alleged he'd spent three years planning to   
   commit a “mass casualty" event, the West Valley View reported.   
      
   Hernandez also identified himself to police as an “incel,” a Reddit-born   
   portmanteau of “involuntarily” and “celibate." According to the Merriam-   
   Webster dictionary, "incel" describes an individual, generally male, who   
   typically “holds resentment and hostility toward those who are sexually   
   active” when he is not.   
      
   Incels place blame for any sexual rejection as well as their inability to   
   form healthy intimate relationships onto women and society, according to   
   the Anti-Defamation League.   
      
   Prosecutors previously said Hernandez specifically targeted couples,   
   according to the local outlet.   
      
   “He wants people to feel the pain he has on a daily basis,” said Leiter.   
   “He is very open about having a dark side, and that dark side was coming   
   out.”   
      
   The mother of the 16-year-old shooting victim was one of several people   
   who read victim impact statements during Friday’s sentencing, according to   
   KPHO-TV.   
      
   “He ruined her chance to become a nurse because she can’t stand on her   
   legs anymore,” the mother stated. “We put her through trauma therapy and   
   physical therapy. The doctors told us she has PTSD. She stopped going out.   
   She stopped getting dressed up.”   
      
   The mother of the 19-year-old shooting victim was also present for   
   sentencing, directing her impact statement at Hernandez.   
      
   “My son used to always smile, and now he doesn’t smile anymore, and he’s   
   always looking over his back,” she said. “You changed our lives forever,   
   and even though my son didn’t die, we lost him. We lost someone who was   
   loving and caring.”   
      
   Court records show Hernandez was initially charged with more than 40   
   felonies. However, most of them were dismissed when he agreed to plead   
   guilty to two counts of attempted first-degree murder and two counts of   
   aggravated assault on April 1, according to the Associated Press.   
      
   Hernandez will serve his sentence in the Arizona Department of   
   Corrections, according to the county attorney’s office. He will also spend   
   seven years on probation following his release.
