TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) -- A Topeka man was sentenced to more than 55 years in prison for killing another man during a crime spree in June 2010.

Forty-four-year-old Stephen A. Macomber was sentenced Tuesday for killing 26-year-old Ryan Lofton in Lofton's driveway in Topeka. He was convicted in January of intentional second-degree murder.

Macomber says he didn't intend to kill or shoot Lofton. The shooting occurred during a struggle to get control of a gun.

After Macomber shot Lofton, he shot and wounded a Marshall County sheriff's deputy during a traffic stop in Blue Rapids and then held an elderly woman hostage during a standoff with police. He's serving 83 years in prison for those crimes.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports (http://bit.ly/zYWr2E) Macomber had 19 prior convictions, 13 of them involving felonies against people.
