Opinion:
McDonald, justice.
We accepted jurisdiction of Vause v. State, 424 So.2d 52 (Fla. 1st DCA 1982), because of conflict with State v. Carpenter, 417 So.2d 986 (Fla.1982). We have jurisdiction, article V, section 3(b)(3), Florida Constitution, and approve in part and quash in part Vause.
The state indicted Vause for first-degree premediated murder (section 782.04, Florida Statutes (1979)), shooting at or into an occupied vehicle (section 790.19, Florida Statutes (1979)), and use of a firearm during commission of a felony (section 790.07, Florida Statutes (1979)). The jury convicted Vause of third-degree murder and of the other two counts as charged. On appeal the district court affirmed all three convictions. Relying on State v. Hegstrom, 401 So.2d 1343 (Fla.1981), however, the court reversed the sentences for everything but third-degree murder, finding shooting into a vehicle to be an element of the murder and use of a weapon during commission of a felony to be a lesser included offense of the murder.
We recently overruled Hegstrom and held that the underlying felony is not a lesser included offense of felony murder. State v. Enmund, 476 So.2d 165 (Fla.1985). We hold, therefore, that the district court should not have reversed Vause's sentence for shooting into a vehicle.
We also recently held that the use of a firearm during the commission of a felony is not a necessarily lesser included offense of first-degree murder. State v. Baker, 456 So.2d 419 (Fla.1984). A review of subsections 782.04(4) and 790.07(2) demonstrates that it is possible to commit each of those crimes without necessarily committing the other because they contain different elements. See State v. Carpenter. Use of a firearm during commission of a felony, therefore, is not a necessarily lesser included offense of third-degree murder, and the district court should not have reversed the sentence for that conviction.
Accordingly, we quash the reversal of Vause's sentences for shooting into an occupied vehicle and for use of a firearm and direct that the district court affirm those convictions and sentences. We approve the remainder of Vause.
It is so ordered.
