BEAVERCREEK, Ore. (AP) - A man has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for a deadly shooting that followed an argument in rural northwest Oregon.

KATU-TV reported Wednesday that Howard Bunnell Jr. was sentenced earlier this month after pleading guilty to first-degree manslaughter in the death of 45-year-old Alvin Wallenstein.

According to court documents, the two men had gotten into an argument outside Bunnell’s home in rural Clackamas County in August 2017.
