Handgun. She more than likely sustained a fatal would on the first shot. All defensive handguns share one similarity, they are inefficient at stopping a determined person instantly, unless a head shot is achieved. That young woman was motivated to get away, so she did.
I counted 24 seconds between when the gun makes its first appearance in the gunman's camera frame, and the first shot being fired. Situational awareness definitely could have afforded the possibility for an armed defender to shoot back or shoot first. The only defense against crazy pieces of sh*t is taking responsibility for one's own personal security.
There are documented cases of people surviving heart shots, and statements made by more than one surgeon that a bullet to the heart will often not stop assailants instantly. Have you ever seen the Mark Coates (S. Carolina trooper shot in the heart) video? A spine shot below the level of arm paralysis may be fatal, may not. At any rate handgun wounds below the level of the head, while sometimes fatal, seldom achieve instant stops. Two rounds to the center mass and re-evaluating is as likely to get you shot back as it is to end the hostility.
And lots of documented cases of people being DRT too. What if I use a .45? Doesn't that instantly kill them and their soul?
I think the number of people not stopped instantly would surprise you.
As for the .45...............You could ask this guy, Mark Wilson, if he were alive.

Has this seriously evolved into a caliber stopping power debate.
Well in fairness most non-liberals aren't stupid enough to blame an inanimate object like the gay flag for the killings so it had to evolve somewhere...
SHOT PLACEMENT!!!! Lol. I carry a Glock 9mm.
