Firing one shot at a police car with two officers constitutes one attempt of grievous assault, not two.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Finland held that firing a single shot at a police vehicle containing two officers constitutes one attempt of grievous assault rather than two separate attempts. The prosecution argued that each officer was the target of a distinct attempt, but the court rejected this view. The decision established that the act of firing one bullet constitutes a single criminal attempt regardless of the number of occupants in the targeted vehicle.
