Bah! Multiple shots on the first perp and he did not go down for good. She needs a better gun.

Well, my dislike of 9mm's aside, she was probably a little rattled, and that can affect anyone's aim. Being that it was probably her first firefight, I'd say she pulled it together nicely with the tools available. Being shot multiple times is a life altering event. Even if this guy survives, and isn't permanently injured somehow, let's just say between his dead pal and his swiss cheese abdomen, he's learned a valuable life lesson.

She put one round in the other perp, and now he's the 'late, unlamented Mr. Perp'.

Nothing's guaranteed.

You forget the first rule of a gunfight. Have a gun!!!

I knew a fella who took three-four rounds of a 45 to the torso and survived. The other fella in that robbery took five rounds of a 9 mm (iirc, maybe a 38) and survived. Point blank range, firing across the store counter.

Well, I agree sort of - when carrying a 9mm I feel underarmed for sure. My choice sidearm is my trusty 1911 - .45.
HOWEVER, it did seem to do the job. It sounds like to me she did a good job, under stress, probably her first draw on a live person, and she took out two perps, one of which was engaged in a fight with her boyfriend. Not bad IMHO.
The "best" weapon is the one you can handle well - she did a good job.

Not if she can't get hits with it, she doesn't.

"She needs a better gun."

Probably using hard ball ammo. However, she did good. She did very good. I especially like the fact that she had the cool to keep firing until he was down and then go get the second bad guy. She had her act together!
