She really should have been using a shotgun with fairly small shot. Can't depend on small shot to make a solid stop of a adrenalin-filled perp unless you get a face or neck shot (or groin-- ouch!). My idea of "fairly small shot" is #1 Buck. It'll go through a leather jacket and still give good penetration.
If you've got both hands to use and room to manuever it, a shotgun is the best weapon.

Year 'round, I keep my 12ga very close by with 4 - 3 1/2" T shot shells loaded. T shot is the largest pellet short of buck shot. I used to hunt ALOT of ducks and geese south of Houston, and the T shot would really reach out and touch those geese, some 45 yards plus. I have patterned goose shot repeatedly, and for my money, the T shot is the way to go. At 10-20 feet, you are looking at a paper plate sized pattern, sausage making machine. Course, gotta have the glock 23 ready for lots of carnage.
