An Iowa man will go to prison for the next 20 years after he attempted to hijack an Internet domain at gunpoint, tased and shot the victim, and got shot back himself.

The man who attempted the domain "robbery" is 43-year-old Sherman Hopkins Jr., from Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The victim is Ethan Deyo, 26, also from Cedar Rapids, a former GoDaddy engineer, and the owner of doitforstate.com, the domain at the heart of this event.
