The armed robber shot the store owner in the leg before all the money had been handed over. Authorities say the gunman then walked outside and returned to get the rest of the cash, but by that time the owner had managed to get a gun. When the gunman approached, the owner shot the robber at least 11 times.

Yep. When in doubt, mag dump.

Your life is worth a few extra rounds down range...

the owner shot the robber at least 11 times.

Doesn’t say much for 9mm stopping power, does it?
I’m going to trade up to 45.

True, but the drum is more photogenic.

YOU DON’T NEED TEN BULLETS TO KILL A .................ARMED ROBBER!.

True, a single hand grenade might do the trick.

Yep. When in doubt, mag dump.

I would try to save the last 2-3 rounds, in case he has a buddy I hadn't noticed yet.

the robber must have been higher than a kite on meth

After the first hit, the alleged robber was heard to say, "Owie, ya got me" placing his hand over the wound. As he began to raise his handgun "ghetto-style" he was met with a vigorous hail of bullets.

I found another story that brackets the number of hits more accurately:

“According to Jefferson David County Coroner Jimmy Slater, the suspect, identified as 35-year-old LeRobert Young of Bassfield, had 11 to 13 gunshot wounds.”

From here: http://www.guns.com/2013/11/27/store-clerk-shot-by-robber-opens-fire-on-suspect-hitting-him-more-than-10-times/

Nice shootin’. Given a modern wonder-9 typical capacity of up to about 17 rounds, this represents a much higher than average hit percentage than that for an average deadly force incident, even those involving “trained” police. ^5 to the store owner.

Yeah, but it sounds like he remained standing until the 12 gun salute had been fired. Had the first shot(s) dropped him, the remaining fusillade would have merely whistled overhead.

Superperp went down hard. The undertaker has his work cut out for him.

And with a bullet hole in his leg. High Stress as a vctim involved in a robbery. Excellent shooting!
