LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A Lincoln man has been sentenced to more than 12 years in prison for shooting at a man over a girl.

21-year-old Rocky Truong was sentenced Tuesday on charges that included attempted use of a firearm to commit a felony. He will be given credit for more than 140 days served in jail.

Authorities say Truong met a man in May to fist fight over a woman they both liked. Truong was accused of firing several shots at his rival and chasing him. The man was not hurt but later reported the incident to police.

Truong said during his sentencing that he takes full responsibility for his actions and was not “in the right state of mind.”
