Head Matter:
Lamonte HERRING, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 1D09-0585.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
Aug. 25, 2010.
James C. Banks of Banks & Morris, P.A., Tallahassee, for Appellant.
Bill McCollum, Attorney General, and Giselle Denise Lylen, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Lamonte Herring appeals his conviction and sentence for attempted second degree murder on several grounds. We find fundamental error and reverse under State v. Montgomery, 39 So.3d 252 (Fla.2010), and Rushing v. State, — So.3d —, 35 Fla. L. Weekly D1376 (Fla. 1st DCA June 21, 2010), because the trial court gave the standard jury instruction on the lesser included offense of attempted voluntary manslaughter which erroneously includes intent to kill as an element of the crime.
REVERSED and REMANDED.
THOMAS, ROBERTS, and MARSTILLER, JJ., concur.
