A 19-year-old is going to prison for firing a gun at children and their mother in the family's front yard.

Robert Luna of Bryan received a ten-year sentence and was fined $2,000. He had pleaded guilty to aggravated assault to a deadly weapon, and a jury determined his punishment.

In October 2014, Luna was walking past the home of a former co-worker. Five children in the front yard were playing.

Luna thought he'd been disrespected by them, called the mother out of the house, threatened to shoot her, and eventually pulled out a handgun and fired. The bullet missed, and Luna left, saying he'd be back.

Jurors heard that Luna had been caught dealing drugs while awaiting trial on the assault charge. He was arrested on April 15 after an officer found marijuana and bullets in his car. Luna had already been convicted of marijuana possession and evading arrest, and as a juvenile, he earned probation for possessing marijuana and failure to ID.

"Robert Luna is a drug dealer who shot at children over nothing," said Assistant District Attorneys Ryan Calvert and R. Clay Kimbrough in a statement. "In so doing, he also endangered other lives in the neighborhood. The jury has made our community safer by removing him."
