Stupid bitch doesn’t understand the concept of neutralizing the threat. You don’t shoot to kill, you shoot to neutralize the threat. That normally means two shots to center mass, when shooting a pistol. The minimum response can vary between weapon systems and organizational policy.

The traditional point of aim is center, visible mass. The intention is to inflict a debilitating injury. Whether or not it’s a fatal injury is the risk the aggressor takes.
