# Concurrent intent

Concurrent intent is when there is a specific intent to commit one crime, and at the same time (concurrently) an intent to commit $another.^{:679}$ An example is when a perpetrator plants a bomb or shoots an automatic weapon in a crowded place, with an intent to kill a specified target, the perpetrator can be found to have a concurrent intent to kill others who are not specifically targeted, but who are in the kill $zone.^{:679}$ Cases defining concurrent intent in common law include People v. Stone (2009) and People v. Bland (2002), each of which involve a drive-by shooting into a $crowd.^{:677–681}$
