In re Jasmer

OPINION

DAVID R. LESLIE, Judge.*

Marvin Jasmer appeals from a judgment committing him as mentally ill and dangerous. We affirm the determination that Jas-mer is mentally ill, but reverse on the issue of dangerousness.

FACTS

On April 14,1988, appellant Jasmer fired a shotgun in the general direction of his neighbor’s son, who was playing basketball in his own driveway. Jasmer shouted at the boy before firing, and the boy was not hit by the shot. Although Jasmer was approximately 65 to 80 feet away, the shot missed the boy by approximately three or four feet and hit the neighbor’s garage.
