Description
In this case we must determine whether the offense of discharging a firearm at an inhabited dwelling house (Pen. Code, § 246)*fn1 is a felony "inherently dangerous to human life" for purposes of the second degree felony-murder doctrine, and, if so, whether that doctrine nonetheless is inapplicable in the present case under the so-called "merger" doctrine applied in People v. Ireland (1969) 70 Cal. 2d 522, and its progeny. For the reasons explained hereafter, we conclude that this offense, for such purposes, is a felony inherently dangerous to human life and does not "merge" with a resulting homicide so as to preclude application of the felony-murder doctrine. Because the Court of Appeal reached a similar Conclusion, we affirm the judgment of that court upholding defendant's conviction of second degree murder.
