““There can be little doubt an attempt to do bodily harm was coupled with the apparent ability to injure Smith. Even though the defendant fired wide of the mark on all five occasions we believe questions as to her intention and his fear of bodily harm were properly left to the jury. See State v. Clanton, 219 Kan. 531 , 548 P.2d 768 (1976), and Gornick v. United States, 320 F.2d 325 (10th Cir. 1963). The elements necessary to establish a crime may be proved by circumstantial evidence. See State v. Wilkins, 215 Kan. 145 , Syl. ¶ 4, 523 P.2d 728 (1974), and State v. Colbert, 221 Kan. 203 , Syl. ¶ 2, 557 P.2d 1235 (1976).” 224 Kan. at 96 .”
