DEWITT, Neb. (AP) — A 26-year-old DeWitt resident convicted of shooting another man has been given up to 10 years in prison.

Zachary Grummert was sentenced on Monday. Grummert was given six to eight years for attempted assault and 10 to 12 months each for terroristic threats and possessing a short shotgun. The sentences are to be served consecutively.

He was arrested last May after the shooting of a Beatrice man, Joshua Voorhees. Witnesses say Voorhees was shot after stepping between Grummert and another man who were arguing at a party in DeWitt. Grummert told police that Voorhees and another man were starting fights at the party.
