Does section 654 of the California Criminal Code prohibit multiple punishment where a defendant has committed violent crimes against different victims?

Masters recognizes that section 654 does not preclude multiple punishment where a defendant has committed violent crimes against different victims. However, he urges that his violation of section 246, the discharge of a firearm into an occupied motor vehicle, did not constitute a crime with victims. Accordingly, he argues, section 654's prohibition should apply to [195 Cal.App.3d 1129] his sentence. Masters relies upon the opinion in Martin v. Hall (1971) 20 Cal.App.3d 414, 97 Cal.Rptr. 730, to support his proposition.
