I just looked that up. He shot the perp 5 times in the chest with a 357 mag, and the perp survived. However, he was shot with a 22 and it hit the heart and he died. Crazy.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.
