“An additional scenario is that LEO “ran the ladder” on the perp to “stop” him; starting low (leg region) and ending at center mass. “
I thought one started for center of mass first.

....IF you can.....
"Running the ladder" is sometimes, tactically, an LDE (last ditch effort) in getting rounds downrange as you clear the holster, hoping to connect before your front site is lined up with your eye and supporting hand. NOTE: practicing one-hand running the ladder is a good way to shoot your leg and supporting hand!
