THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. BRYANT EVANS, Appellant.

The trial court properly declined to submit the lesser included offense of second-degree manslaughter, since there was no reasonable view of the evidence that would have supported a finding that the shooting was merely reckless. Given the testimony that the shots were fired during a heated discussion and from a distance of only a few feet, and the fact that two of the bullets entered the victim's body, the only reasonable interpretation is that the shooting was intentional ( see, People v Barden, 194 AD2d 548, lv denied 82 NY2d 707).

"We have considered defendant's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit.
