• instruction relieving state of proving indictment’s material allegation that defendant shot at victim was reversible error
• if probable that jury convicted defendant of offense in manner not averred in indictment, error sufficiently egregious to preclude finding of waiver
• where indictment specifically charged defendant with committing aggravated assault by shooting victim with a pistol, jury instruction which defined aggravated assault as \an act which places another person in immediate apprehension of receiving a violent injury\ was error
• where indictment specifically charged defendant with committing aggravated assault by shooting victim with a pistol, jury instruction which defined aggravated assault as “an act which places another person in immediate apprehension of receiving a violent injury” was error
• the trial court failed to charge the jury on aggravated assault by shooting the victim, and instead charged that the State need only show that the person was put in reasonable apprehension of immediately receiving a violent injury and gave no further limiting instructions
