I think that you both are getting too hyper and depending upon what may be bad reporting. The story says that the robber "grabbed a stroller that held Easterly’s [year old] baby" and was going out the door. Perhaps the knee was the clearest target and that she was taught to aim at the clearest unobstructed target?
In my opinion she practiced good gun control, she put the shot where she aimed at a moment of maximum stress! Kudos and blessing to this lady and her family!
Don’t think I was being “hyper”, but do agree the reporting is at best incomplete. Never said where he was hit.
I never thought of that. It could be she pulled the gun, the guy got scared and picked up the stroler and ran with it and the knee was the safest for the kid.
