The court properly denied defendant's suppression motion. Defendant's arguments improperly rely on trial testimony ( People v. Abrew, 95 NY2d 806, 808) and are unavailing in any event. The hearing record establishes that defendant voluntarily appeared at the police station on two occasions, that he was never subjected to custodial interrogation ( see Thompson v. Keohane, 516 US 99, 112; People v. Yukl, 25 NY2d 585, cert denied 400 US 851), and that he was not arrested or otherwise seized until after his ultimate, inculpatory statement. Moreover, even though the police were not required to administer Miranda warnings, they did so at the first interview and reminded defendant of these warnings at the second interview.
The verdict was not against the weight of the evidence. Defendant, who injured two bystanders while engaging in a gunfight at a crowded theater, was properly convicted of assault under a depraved indifference theory ( see Penal Law § 120.10; People v. Russell, 91 NY2d 280). Defendant's acquittal of another charge does not warrant a different conclusion ( see People v. Rayam, 94 NY2d 557). However, the court should have dismissed the reckless endangerment count as a lesser included offense of the first-degree assault convictions ( see People v. Cotton, 214 AD2d 994, lv denied 86 NY2d 733).
