Which is why I never understood the “Should have shot him in the leg” idea. Shooting someone in the leg is as likely to kill him as shooting him in the chest.
Arteries are set up so that a deep injury to the leg of a fleeing man or someone with their back turned is liable to get that artery, so it’s safer to face a man with a gun or knife than to run. This proves that G-d favors bravery. Poor fellow probably had his back to his best friend, and the poor fool panicked at the unnatural situation of a kid stabbing someone, and failed to plug the little bass turd right between the eyes as he should have, a wild shot and a terrible tragedy.
