The testimony that Augustine fired a gun at three police officers was sufficient to allow the jury to conclude that Augustine created a grave risk of death to Officers Greaves, Wharton, and Allen, as well as any other members of the public that were in the area at the time. See State v. Coward, 292 Conn. 296, 972 A.2d 691, 702-03 (2009) (finding that the act of firing a loaded gun at or near someone “is, by definition, the epitome of reckless conduct creating a grave risk of death under circumstances evincing an extreme indifference to human life”); State v. Wood, 180 Ariz. 53, 881 P.2d 1158, 1174 (1994) (<HOLDING>) (internal quotation marks omitted); State v.
