The family acknowledges Johnson's actions were wrong, but they question why a warning shot couldn't have been fired first.

Because "warning shots" can kill innocent bystanders.

And there is no such thing as "shoot to wound," because arteries are everywhere.

It is shoot to stop the threat. If it means shoot center mass, then shoot center mass. To fire a warning shot, requires the same conditions, as to fire for affect. Why would anyone fire a warning shot, when the same requirements exist?
