1Opinion of the Court

SHARP, Chief Judge.

Vanguard Insurance Company sought to intervene in a suit for damages filed against persons claiming to be Vanguard’s insureds (Perez, Mejia and Fumero) by Townsend, the plaintiff, who was shot by Perez. Vanguard also sought to file in the personal injury suit a complaint for declaratory relief to determine whether any or some of the defendants are covered as insureds under its homeowners liability policy and whether the shooting was an intentional act, as opposed to a negligent one, for which the policy excluded coverage.
