Man gets 20 years for Fort Sam Houston shooting

Alvin Roundtree was sentenced Friday in San Antonio after earlier pleading guilty to assaulting a federal employee with a deadly weapon.

Despite being shot seven times, the woman survived the attack at Fort Sam Houston. The shooting took place at the Army Medical Department Center and School, where the victim, an Army captain, was an instructor.

Roundtree's nephew, 29-year-old Leonard Roundtree III, was found guilty in April of conspiracy to commit murder. He has not been sentenced.

Prosecutors say the elder Roundtree was upset that the woman was leaving him. They say the men also were concerned about testimony she might present in court.
