In the case of .223, the heavy glass will cause the slug to break up and go way off course.

Here's another "FWIW" I'll throw this out and bow to your expertise.

The window shot. The store hit is in a relatively confined parking lot. If I'm facing the store, the strip mall extends about 7 or 8 store fronts down to the left and then wraps around behind my left shoulder to a large grocery store. To my right is a small line of stores facing out into the parking lot. Behind me, the parking lot is split in half parallel to the Michaels store by a row of trees about 25 feet high and about 20 rows of parking spaces from the store in question. For a sniper, isn't that a little confined? Would that suggest that this fella was quite confident in his ability to disappear? The last I remember, beyond the parking lot is a four lane road about 100 yards out and lots of trees after that.

P.S. - Don't ask me how I know some of these details except to say this heel was young and awfully rambunctious at one point in my life and on occasion strayed a little too far from home.
