Shot in the neck? Wow, going for the head shot instead of body mass. Gutsy!

Maybe a lucky shot if she was shooting around the door.

Perhaps it was a snap economic decision. Head shot is more difficult but more likely to kill. This saves incarceration money in the long run. It just did not quite pay off.

Firing around the edge of a door ajar indicates more a spray and pray approach that, in this instance, was effective.

No really, I put 3 rounds into the center of the chest of a Viet Cong without getting a kill. I then had the problem of rendering life saving aid and getting a helo for transport to a hospital. People are much harder to kill than you might guess.

Without a picture of the perp, we can’t say for certain that the neck wasn’t her center of mass.
