I remember a story about a year back out of Detroit where some old girl fired 11 rounds at some punk who tried to steal her purse.
She missed but she did get her purse back. Then she got back on the bus and berated the “men” who sat there as the punk grabbed her purse.
Missed 11 shots? Not unbelievable. Handguns can be difficult to control (especially for those with little training or practice), and fight-or-flight magnifies the sighting instability.
