Her kids may not be all that thrilled about the idea of getting any hugs from mom. I pity the poor Okl;ahoma taxpayer's who'll be feeding her.

No. I'm in Oklahoma. When the legislature passed the "stand your ground" law they also included no civil action allowed against the homeowner/person defending himself.
Not according to the chart at your link.
Can the home owner sue for damages and can the Defender sue for ammo costs? ;^}
Someone want to tell Piers Morgan that this is why we need large capacity mags?

I hope they lived long enough to think, “I can’t believe he shot me.”
Thankfully everyone is safe.
Actually, now that you mention it, where's the guy that cuts my grass?
I agree with you completely. 4 well placed hits with a .22 LR will do a lot more damage that 4 misses with a .45.
That is why I love my Ruger MkI. I can keep it on target and put in group within in 1” at 10yds.
Oh, so by your statistics if I DO hit someone 4 times with a .22, do I have a 136% chance of it being fatal. I like the odds.
The chart at my link doesn’t say how quickly they drop, just whether they are (eventually) disabled and whether they are (eventually) killed. I still like that chart a lot, but it’s not the whole story.
From what I have read, many people automatically drop when shot, unless they are really tough and well-trained. First, being shot hurts a lot. Second, you’re supposed to drop, since that’s what you see on TV, so that’s what they do. That’s why you get a fairly high “one shot stop” rate, regardless of caliber or where the hit occurs. A whole lot of people drop or run when they are shot.
Those who continue to fight after taking a hit are different (and much more likely to get shot again, and they are the ones where caliber matters). Some tough guys fight with a .22LR hole and bleed to death slowly, or run away and bleed to death several blocks away. Some barely have time to take one more swing or to run outside before they bleed to death quickly with a .50 cal or 12 gauge hole somewhere in the body. Whether they are disabled/killed quickly or slowly appears to come from the kinetic energy transferred and to some extent the size of the hole (plus shot placement, of course).
There are a ton of other variables but your first statement isn't supported by your chart.
Laying in the dude’s driveway...
“She looks white ... “
She looks like indian mixed with underclass white trash — “mestizo”
True.
Wow! That’s what that is? So that girl could or will be charged with 3 murders? Daaamn!
In case you are wondering (or anyone else is), according to that table someone you hit with a .22 has a 34% chance of being killed by any one shot. That means a 66% chance of surviving the first shot. Or .66*.66 = 0.4356 or 44% chance of surviving two shots (assuming the damage from two non-fatal shots doesn't combine to make a fatal wound). Or 0.66*0.66*0.66 = 0.2875 or 29% of surviving three shots, and 0.66*0.66*0.66*0.66 = 0.19 or 19% to survive your four shots. That assumes you are an average shot among those who use a 22 for self-defense.
If someone is shooting you with a .22 and you survive one or two hits, it's time to get out of there if you can - before your luck changes.
I guess this incident proves that a 5.56mm weapon will work up close.Burned these 3 to the ground.
