Los Angeles, California - This is an example of the Felony Murder Rule. Two robbers enter a liquor store. One robber pulls out a gun and shoots at the store clerk, the clerk has a gun of his own and he shoots back. The robber who didn't have a gun gets hit and dies shortly after. The person who gets charged with the robber's death is the other robber who fired at the clerk, even though that robber did not shoot his partner who died.
