Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Appellant was indicted and tried on two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon. Convicted on both counts, he was given concurrent sentences. Upon the trial he admitted the shooting and claimed self-defense and argued to the jury the theory of the right to stop a fleeing felon. We find no error affecting substantial rights.
Affirmed.
