1Opinion of the Court

John A. Fogleman, Justice.

Appellant Scott Leonard was convicted of first degree murder in the killing of Fred Pack, Sr., the proprietor of a liquor store at Fifteenth and Chester Streets in Little Rock, on March 26, 1971. A jury fixed his punishment at life imprisonment. He asserts that there was error in admission of certain shotgun shells into evidence, in giving an instruction offered by the state and in denying two instructions requested by him, and contends that the evidence was insufficient to prove that the killing was wilful, deliberate or premeditated. We find no reversible error.
