You can die from a gunshot wound to your shoulder?

Easily

Your axillary arteries go through your shoulder to your arm where they become the brachial arteries.

Cut the axillary arteries or brachial arteries and you bleed out in minutes.

You can die from a gunshot wound to pretty much anywhere. There is no such thing as “shoot to disable”. If you’re shooting, your are making the decision to take a life; be that decision justified or not.

“Shoot him in the leg!” is a suggestion to use deadly force every bit as much as “shoot him in the head!” And for the record, both are bad advice. Shoot center mass to stop the threat.

Ashli Babbitt was not a deadly threat to anyone. She should have been taken into custody for climbing through the window; not shot dead on the scene. She did nothing that day to warrant a summary execution.
