Immigrant who pointed loaded gun in Calgary road rage incident won't face deportation An Ethiopian immigrant who pulled out a loaded handgun, pointed it at another driver and threatened to shoot during a fight that was sparked by a “minor traffic infraction” in Calgary failed to convince a judge to tailor his sentence to avoid deportation. Instead, an Alberta Court of Justice judge sentenced Thomas Kahsay Berhe to three years in prison for being in possession of a loaded Glock 19 9 mm pistol, pointing it at the other driver, threatening to shoot him, and for, eleven days later, when police finally caught up to him, being a passenger in a car that he knew contained a loaded .38 calibre revolver.
