The following excerpt is from The People v. Hall, 100 Cal.Rptr.2d 279, 83 Cal. App. 4th 1084 (Cal. App. 2000):
So, too, the multiple-victim exception permits punishment for both assault with a deadly weapon and discharge of a firearm at an occupied motor vehicle in violation of section 246, where the defendant shot four or five shots at a vehicle carrying three people, one of whom was hit. (People v. Masters, supra, 195 Cal.App.3d 1124.) Again, "[defendant's] violent actions were performed in a manner likely to cause harm to all three individuals in the vehicle, and in fact did seriously injure one person . . . ." (Id. at p. 1128.)
