Well, I did have my firearms safety certification up here in Canada, as a part of a police foundations program, but it’s been more than 20 years since I’ve actually fired one. Of course it depends heavily on whether the injury is multi-systemic (consistent with abdominal wounds) or not. However, there are several places on the human body where a gunshot wound is likely fatal. Police are generally trained to hit center mass, as opposed to ‘shoot to wound’, but I don’t know where the loose round of this trigger-happy gentleman might have ended up. Anyway, I’m not saying the guy would certainly have died, but it could easily have gone even more badly.
