It’s life in prison for the man convicted of attempting to murder Norton Police Chief James Lane. On Tuesday a Wise County Circuit Court Judge sentenced James Buckland to two life terms for the May 2021 shooting that left Lane with several life-long injuries. In October a Wise County jury found Buckland guilty of attempted murder, aggravated malicious wounding, using a gun to attempt to murder a police officer and more. Buckland is being held at the Duffield Regional Jail until his prison assignment.
