“He hit the perp with 8 of 13 shots”

To all - the fact that the perp took 8 rounds means that the gun was too small. Not to mention that a brain shot should have been on the officer’s ‘gotta shoot’ list after the first center of mass shot failed.

Even though I carry a .44 Redhawk with Glasers, if the first didn’t do the trick, I’d go for a head shot.

I've never bought into the "first couple of shots center mass didn't do the trick, so I'll transition to a much smaller moving target". It's interesting in training, but I'm not sure how effective it'd be in real life with all the physiological changes that supposedly occur.
