A defendant entered a convenience store wearing a Halloween mask and carrying a gun. He pointed the gun at the store clerk and told him to empty the cash register into a bag and hand it over. The clerk told the defendant that he needed a key from below the counter to unlock the cash drawer. He leaned over, pulled out a gun from behind the cash register, and quickly fired a shot. The defendant had seen the clerk reach for the gun, however, and jumped out of the way before the shot was fired. The bullet hit a customer, who later died from the injury.

B. No, because the defendant did not shoot the customer.
C. Yes, because the customer’s death was a natural and probable consequence of the robery.
D. Yes, because the defendant is strictly liable for any death that occurs during an inherently dangerous felony.
