(a), 187), three counts of assault with a firearm (§ 245, subd. (a)(2)), and one count of battery with serious bodily injury (§ 243, subd. (d)).

For the two attempted murder counts, the jury also found the defendants were principals in the commission of those crimes, they committed them for the benefit of a criminal street gang, and during its commission, a principal intentionally discharged a firearm (§ 12022.53, subds. (c) & (e)(1)). The trial court sentenced both defendants to indeterminate terms of seven years to life, plus determinate terms of 29 years.
