Or, perhaps more to the point, do we charge the robber for the murder of
the bystander that the police accidentally shot?

Yes, we do.

Note that, at least judging from the very brief explanation Gary posted a
link for, we would not charge a criminal guilty only of theft, burglary, or
similar crimes (even if those are felonies).
