OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A 62-year-old man has been imprisoned for shooting to death his roommate in Omaha.

Court records say Kenneth Munhall was given 50 to 70 years at his sentencing Wednesday. He’d pleaded guilty to second-degree murder after prosecutors lowered the charge from first-degree murder and dropped two other charges.

The records say he fatally shot 71-year-old Merlin Prinz in the forehead around 5 a.m. on April 25. The two had argued the night before.
