The following excerpt is from People v. Tittle, B253135 (Cal. App. 2015):
Appellants argue that, as to count 2, the trial court had a duty to instruct the jury on grossly negligent discharge of a firearm, which is a lesser included offense of shooting at an inhabited dwelling (People v. Ramirez (2009) 45 Cal.4th 980, 990). We disagree.
