CORNELIUS, Chief Justice.
Willie Rudd appeals his conviction for aggravated assault on a peace officer. The jury assessed his punishment at fifteen years’ imprisonment.
Police officers responded to a complaint about gunfire at Rudd’s residence. When the officers arrived, Rudd was sitting on his porch with a shotgun nearby. As two officers approached him, Rudd moved into the house, taking the shotgun with him. Rudd fired at the officers from the house, and they returned the fire. Rudd was charged with aggravated assault on a peace officer. At his trial he relied on an insanity defense.
