needs more range time, one shot, one kill

It was good shooting for certain. The outcome is the proof. But IF he had a 1911 "style" weapon, and 8 rounds, his hit rate is at best 50% inside of 25 feet. Also, as harsh as this might sound, the perp(s) should be dead. Not recovering in hospital.

Yes. Good shooting, now get to the range! :-)

Hmmmm, thinking . . .

8 rounds . . . 4 hits . . .

3 perps . . .1 hit . . .

50% and 33% . Depending on the math, it could be as low as 18% or so.
