Defendant Cameron James George was convicted of malice murder, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and possession of a firearm by a first offender probationer.1 He appeals, asserting, inter alia, that the trial court erred in failing to merge the malice murder and aggravated assault convictions for sentencing purposes. We find no error and affirm. Viewing the evidence in a light to uphold the verdict, we find the following: George and Jason White were at a club when George called his best friend, Jason Carter, and asked if he would join George, White and others at another club —the Pink Pony. Carter and his girlfriend, Janet Sligh, who was pregnant, argued over George’s invitation, and Carter decided not to go. At that, George threatened to kill Sligh and her unborn child.

Later, George and White went to Carter’s and Sligh’s house. White, who was heavily intoxicated, remained in the car and George went inside. George and Carter started arguing, and Sligh tried to break it up. When she realized that George had a gun, Sligh left the room.
