AKRON, Ohio -- An Akron firefighter was sentenced Tuesday to five years in prison for shooting a man in the shoulder during a domestic incident.

Enrique Green, 31, was found guilty last week of two counts of felonious assault in a Feb. 2 incident at a home on McKinley Avenue near Hammel Street, according to court records.

Judge Mary Margaret Rowlands sentenced him Tuesday in Summit County Common Pleas Court.

Green, who has been with the Akron Fire Department for six years, was placed on paid administrative leave following his arrest, police said. He has since been fired.

Green was visiting a woman just before 4 a.m. when her ex-boyfriend showed up. The two men argued, and the 28-year-old ex-boyfriend grabbed a brick and tried to throw it at Green, police said.

Green then shot the ex-boyfriend in the shoulder, police said.

The ex-boyfriend drove himself to Summa Akron City Hospital for treatment.

Green has a valid permit to carry a concealed weapon, police said.
