Dear, that's not stupid.
That's training. IF you fire, you fire until the threat is gone. Not until "okay that's enough"
And that is EXACTLY what wilson did. He fired until the kid stopped charging him, then the kid started charging again and Wilson resumed firing.
I said I never drew my weapon, I didn't say I've not been involved with investigating shootings.
Investigated a case once were a soldier killed his wife in their home. The wife also killed him.
Picture this.
Two average sized people, him dead of lead poisoning, her dead of strangulation.
Evidence proved that she shot him twice at 18' away, one in the stomach one in the leg. She hit again at around 10' away, this time in the chest.
She shot him again this time at point blank range right into the shoulder. He still got a hold of her and strangled her.
Bullets are not some magical device that stops an attacker.
