probably hit the femoral artery in the leg....if no tourniquet was applied soon after the shot, he would have bled to death....

thankfully no one applied the requisite tourniquet

LOL...there is a concealed handgun instructor here that, humorously, teaches that after your attacker goes down, be sure to give him chest compressions until the cops arrive.

1) The attacker exsanguinates before the cops arrive, and
2) Cops will testify upon pulling up that the shooter was giving first aid, giving credence to the trained CCW shooter that he/she didn't want to kill the attacker, but simply shot the attacker until the attack stopped.

I train them to maintain security, reload, and then dial 911 and don't touch the damn blood. If it was a good shoot, you don't have to do much after "BANG" other than tell the cops you were in fear for your life, and you want any statements made in your lawyers office.
