A drug dealer arranged to sell marijuana to Mr. Wong. When they met, Mr. Wong grabbed some of the marijuana and fired a gun at the dealer and his friend. At that same time, two men associated with Mr. Wong emerged and also fired guns at the dealer and his friend. Mr. Wong was convicted by a jury of two counts of attempted murder and one count of discharging a firearm with intent to wound. The Crown applied for a dangerous offender designation. The sentencing judge granted the designation and ordered an indeterminate sentence. The Court of Appeal dismissed an appeal.
