        "text": "Mr. PRESIDING JUSTICE GEORGE J. MORAN\ndelivered the opinion of the court:\nDefendant appeals from a judgment of the trial court of Marion County entered after a jury verdict finding him guilty of the crimes of attempted murder (Ill. Rev. Stat. ch. 38, par. 8 \u2014 4), and aggravated assault. (Ill. Rev. Stat. ch. 38, par. 12 \u2014 2.) He was sentenced to a minimum of three years and a maximum of five years in the Illinois State Penitentiary.\nDefendant had an argument with the woman with whom he had been living for several months. She went to her brother\u2019s home and he followed her, carrying a rifle with him. At 2:00 A.M., he entered this residence uninvited, either breaking in or using enough force to somehow break the glass in the door. All witnesses, including defendant\u2019s mother, who preceded him, testified that they were frightened by his entering and brandishing a weapon. He fired either two or three shots, two of them striking very close to his girl friend\u2019s brother who was holding a gun which he did not fire.\nWe find that no error of law appears, that an opinion would have no precedential value and that the judgment is not against the manifest weight of the evidence.\nWe therefore affirm the judgment of the trial court in accordance with 50 Ill.2d R. 23.\nJudgment affirmed.\nEBERSPACHER and CREBS, JJ., concur.",
