Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Alf's actions of firing shots into Willie's house, with the intent to harm him or anyone inside, constitute aggravated assault. The fact that Billy was lucky to only have a bad headache does not negate the seriousness of Alf's actions. The use of an assault rifle also aggravates the offense. Additionally, Alf could be charged with other offenses, such as reckless conduct or unlawful discharge of a firearm.
