I was thinking that this guy's problem is nothing more than "buck fever".
I knew a man who could put an arrow in a target, spent plenty of time in the field, saw a lot of deer, but rarely hit one and when he did it was usually a less than optimal shot. It's easy to get nervous when it is real, and add in the target having a gun, a little buck fever is very understandable.
More range time still wouldn't hurt.

Your right. I've been thinking about this article and what it must have been like for the store owner.
So your standing behind a counter and you see somee POS walking in witha gun drawn while your's is still holstered, what do you do?
First you get out of harms way (duck behind the counter), second you draw your weapon, third you raise it over the counter and fire in his general direction. This would explain the missed shots. I don't think anyone 'knows' what they would do until it happens.

More range time still wouldn't hurt. Range time is always good ... competent professional instruction is even better. A good instructor can introduce the student to stress gradually, and teach him to handle it. You still never know until TSHTF
