Appellant raises the following issues on appeal:

1. Was the evidence insufficient to support Appellant’s conviction of the attempted murder of Detective Dove because Appellant did not raise his arm and fire a shot at the Detective?

2. Was the evidence insufficient to support Appellant’s convictions for aggravated assault insofar as the evidence failed to establish that Appellant or his alleged coactors intended to shoot anyone other than Wesley and the doctrine of transferred intent does not apply.
