I can’t say whether the guy was aiming to hit the kid or firing a warning shot but he had the gun leveled when he fired, the muzzle was not elevated.

I can't see the video, so I don't know. What I do know is that it's not hard to hit someone with a shotgun if you are of a mind to do it.

Someone else said it looked like he accidentally discharged it with his finger on the trigger when he was raising it. I am more angry about an accidental discharge than a deliberate miss.

Being careless with a deadly weapon is more offensive than harmlessly using it to scare someone.

I can buy the argument that the guy might need a little jail time, but a four to ten year felony charge? That's insane. 30 days in jail, tops.

When you someday see the video you will see the retired firefighter recklessly shooting in a suburban neighborhood for no good reason.

I agree with you on the sentence, the judge went way too far.
