There's a firearms lesson in this. Notice that the shooter used a .22. For women and the elderly, a .22 can be a preferred weapon for self-defense. In most cases the recoil is small enough that the next round you fire will still be on target.

A higher caliber weapon will usually have more kick and women and the elderly will find their arm knocked out of alignment so they'll have to "retarget".

You don't want to be in a position where you have to keep retargeting your weapon to stop an assailant.

Very true and one of the many reasons I chose a 22 myself.
