OPINION OF THE COURT
(December 23, 2013)
Hodge, Chief Justice.
Appellant Tristan K. Joseph appeals from the Superior Court’s November 29, 2012 Judgment and Commitment, which adjudicated him guilty of third-degree assault, one count of unauthorized possession of a firearm, one count of unauthorized use of a firearm during a third-degree assault, and reckless endangerment. For the reasons that follow, we reverse his third-degree assault and unauthorized use of a firearm during a third-degree assault convictions and order a new trial on those charges, but affirm his remaining convictions.
