He ducked. Read his statement very carefully. Sometimes that works. Apparantly the people he shot at forgot to do that.

Although I've never been fired on in a serious combat situation, I have been in places where rounds zinged past me. One time I simply stepped behind a large granite pillar and crouched down while others coraled the shooter (a Turkish guestworker no less). Another time I hopped in my jeep and drove to the other side of the mountain (this was on the Czech border with West Germany during the Russian invasion in 1968.)

When confronted reduce your profile as fast as you can.

I don't think the people shot had enough time to react by even ducking.

.....................

The first "example" is rather vague. The second is, well what do you know, a combat situation. Unless your opinion of an invasion does not include combat or the use of firearms. Well, these people were not in the midst of an invasion, they were basically in their back yard. Who the heck expects to be shot in their back yard? And no, I am not any part of the DU as you have been sounding througout this post.
