Gang Assault (F) requires three or more participants and the intent to cause PI or SPI with resulting SPI?

• A. Three or more participants; intend PI/SPI; cause SPI.
• B. Two participants; intent to cause PI.
• C. One participant; no intent required.
• D. Four participants; intent to cause theft.

Answer: (A)

Gang Assault tests three elements: a group size of three or more people acting together, an intent to cause physical injury (PI) or serious physical injury (SPI), and the actual injury that results must be SPI. The scenario with three or more participants and a shown intent to harm, where the victim ends up with serious injuries, fits all three requirements. The other scenarios miss at least one element: a group that isn’t large enough, or a lone actor, or a situation where the stated intent is wrong (intent to steal) or the injury isn’t serious. So the best answer matches the need for a three-person group, the intent to injure, and an actually resulting SPI.
