P. v. Lynch
A jury convicted defendant Andrew Anthony Lynch of assault with a deadly weapon (Pen. Code,[1] § 245, subd. (a)(2)) (a lesser included offense of attempted murder with which he was charged), shooting at an occupied motor vehicle (§ 246), and active participation in a street gang (§ 186.22, subd. (a)). The jury also found to be true several gang and firearm allegations, including the allegation that defendant’s intentional discharge of a firearm at a motor vehicle caused great bodily injury. (§ 12022.53, subd. (d).)
Defendant contends there is insufficient evidence to support his conviction for shooting at an occupied vehicle because defendant fired the handgun while standing at the door of a parked vehicle with the gun extended inside the vehicle. He also contends the victim’s gunshot wounds do not constitute great bodily injury. We reject both contentions and shall affirm the judgment.
