Sounds like it was successful.

Stopped the attack, and mostly immobilized the suspect.

The article does not give us any details about placement of the shots.

People have been hit twice by 12.7 (rough equivalent of .50 BMG) in the chest, and been able to continue their attack.

I was responding to the second sentence:

"Deputies arrived shortly thereafter and incapacitated the suspect. "

'Pears to me the perp was still a mite frisky when LEOs arrived... '-)

Just sayin, the stop may not have been as effective as one would expect from 2 combat rounds to CoM...

For grins, I'll wager that -- after a typical LE response time -- the 2 X 12.7 target no longer needed further "incapacitation"... '-)

Besides, I was mostly poking fun at the stellar "journalism", anyway...
