No, the problem here is the female cop was speaking the armed suspect like he was 10 years old while allowing the armed suspect to get way too close to her. That's why the suspect was not "Seriously hurt" because she only started firing at the suspect until he was on her, tenderizing her with a hammer.
Just a guess, but that would have a tendency to compromise your shot group. ☺
You are right. Once inside 20 feet I believe the training is that gunshots will not stop them before they reach you.
It would be interesting if they ever release details on the perps gunshot wounds.
Going back to the Michael Brown shooting, multiple hits with a 40, and only the last to the top of the head was incapacitating.
"Scholars" are getting bigger, fatter, and more drugged, and police need more powerful sidearms.
