He got hit with a .45 and walked away? Where did he get hit, in the pinkie?

Too bad --- it's so sad what happened to the poor Walmart clerk --- the terror of her last moments.

He was hit in the shoulder, but I have to think it must only have grazed him. I can't imagine that it was a solid hit.

Maybe he was gut shot. Always fatal, just takes a few hours to a day to die.

It sounds like a solid torso hit. It is not uncommon for people to be hit several times with a .45 and walk or run away. The idea that it is a magical one shot stopper is pretty much a myth.

The .45 is a pretty good stopper, but if you don't hit the heart or spine or major support structures such as the pelvic girdle or leg bones, it takes time to take effect, especially if hardball is used instead of expanding bullets.
