No. 88-2159.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Rejecting the defendant's points on appeal from his criminal convictions, we conclude that the trial judge properly admitted evidence, in support of the defendant's claim of self-defense, of the victim's reputation for violence, Quintana v. State, 452 So.2d 98 (Fla. 1st DCA 1984); § 90.405(1), Fla.Stat. (1987), and of particular acts of violence which were known to the defendant, Sanchez v. State, 445 So.2d 1 (Fla. 3d DCA 1984); Smith v. State, 410 So.2d 579 (Fla. 4th DCA 1982), review denied, 419 So.2d 1200 (Fla.1982), and properly excluded evidence which did not meet these qualifications. Sanchez, 445 So.2d at 1; Smith, 410 So.2d at 579.
We do find error in the duplicitous convictions for attempted first degree murder and possession of a firearm in the commission of that same crime. Tundidor v. State, 541 So.2d 165 (Fla. 3d DCA 1989); Smith v. State, 539 So.2d 601 (Fla. 3d DCA 1989). The latter conviction is vacated.
Affirmed as modified.
