Just saw this article from the washington post. Looks like it answers the question of mandatory minimums.

If ST only pointed the gun at the alleged victims, then he's looking at 3 years minimum if found guilty. If he fired the gun, he's looking at 20 years minimum. As far as plea bargaining, he had better hope he didn't fire the gun, because if he did, there is almost certainly no way the prosecutor would drop the charge down low enough for Taylor to avoid significant jail time. In other words, if he fired the gun, he could probably deal down to aggravated assault (3 years in jail). If all he did was point it, he may be able to plea down to simple assault (misdeamor with probably little or no jail).
Any good safeties left on the market? (I'm only partially joking)
