IN this case, she shouldn’t have even attempted to shoot to wound.

I’m not sure why she shot at all.

If she had her gun drawn, she should have had her trigger finger extended down the side of the gun and not on the trigger, because I can’t see how he presented any danger to her life as he was.

Also, if you are familiar with firing a pistol, then let’s not make calls for shooting to wound, because that is just ridiculous. That’s what the taser is for.

Bullets are for killing.

Please, let’s not make ANY “shoot to wound” calls.

Anyone who has fired a handgun knows just how darned difficult it is to hit a stationary target at the range. . .let alone how difficult it is to shoot when filled with adrenaline or fear and when you are moving and against a moving target.

Shooting to wound is Dick Tracy fantasy, a media/Hollywood invention.

etc. . .

(Basically a firearm is deadly force and you are shooting at center mass).
