HARRIS
Defendant was convicted of first degree murder and attempted first degree murder, from shootings which occurred when he was age 15. Court properly sentenced Defendant as an adult under Unified Code of Corrections, because attempted murder charge arose out of the same incident as the first degree murder charge, as both victims were shot during same incident, at same time and place by same two persons. Both offenses were automatically transferable to criminal court. (KARNEZIS and CONNORS, concurring.)
