This is the concept of 'felony murder' and 'parties to a crime'.

It's on the books in every state in the union, so far as I know. Nothing unusual about it.

That’s my understanding too. If you commit an armed robbery, kidnapping, rape etc. and someone is killed even though accidentally or by another party, you are charged with murder.

It’s NOT the law everywhere. Massachusetts still requires identification of the shooter (or ball bat swinger).
