Here is the lesson I take from this. The perp kept coming after the first bullet to the thigh, prior to which he had his hand in his pocket. The perp grabbed at Mr. Fentiman’s shirt but could just as easily have shot Fentiman. The lesson? If you are going to shoot, shoot (thanks, Tuco!) and shoot to kill.

"The lesson?... and shoot to kill."

NO

To stop the threat.

As my old Grandfather, who lived in the early 1900s,used to say,”If you have to pull it, pull it a’smokin, or it better be made of chocolate if he makes you eat it.” I have always
carried, but have never fired a shot in anger. Would I have intervened in this case? I would like to think so. I have always wondered if any one present in the parking lot at the
Killeen, TX cafeteria shooting was armed and didn't try to stop it. Would we be like the Bad Samaritan, and pass on the other side. After all this was in Texas.

Our instructor (reserve Deputy) said that we were never shooting to kill, but that we were shooting to stop the threat (even if it resulted in the death of the perp). Shooting to kill was fodder for DAs and the perp's family. Shooting to stop the threat was a better statement to make when asked about the events at hand.
