N.C.P.I.—Crim. 208.95

The defendant has been accused of assault with a firearm on a

(1. [law enforcement] [probation] [parole] officer.)

(2. person employed at a [State] [local] detention facility.)

Now I charge that for you to find the defendant guilty of this offense,

the State must prove five things beyond a reasonable doubt:

First, that the defendant assaulted the victim by intentionally 1 (and

without justification or excuse) 2 (describe assault).

Second, that the assault was committed with a firearm. 3

Third, that the victim was a

(1. [law enforcement] [probation] [parole] officer.)

(2. person who is employed at a detention facility operated

under the jurisdiction of [the State] [a local government].)

Fourth, that the defendant knew or had reasonable grounds to know

that the victim was a

( 1. [law enforcement] [probation] (parole] officer.)

(2. Person who is employed at a detention facility operated

under the jurisdiction of [the State] [a local government].)

And Fifth, that the victim was in the performance of his duties.

((Describe duty, e.g., serving a warrant) is a duty.)

So I charge that if you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable

doubt that on or about the alleged date, the defendant intentionally

assaulted with a firearm the victim who was a (1. [law enforcement]

[probation] [parole] officer,) (2. person who is employed at a detention

facility operated under the jurisdiction of [the state] [a local government),)

in the performance of his duties, and the defendant knew or had reasonable

grounds to know that the victim was a (1. [law enforcement) [probation]

[parole) officer.) (2. Person who is employed at a detention facility operated

under the jurisdiction of [the State] [a local government],) it would be your

duty to return a verdict of guilty. However, if you do not so find or have a

reasonable doubt as to one or more of these things it would be your duty to

return a verdict of not guilty.
