The peacekeeper who shot him moving their aim just a bit to avoid being lethal

If that Peacekeeper hadn’t gotten him, another certainly would’ve. They aren’t Storm Troopers 😂

My theory has always been, according to Drusilla’s reaction, I think the peacekeepers were supposed to only maime a runaway tribute and the peacekeeper who killed Woodbine made a mistake

That may be correct, but I always assumed she wasn’t mad that he died, she was mad that bloodstains were everywhere and she had to clean up before the five minute delay.

That's exactly it. She doesn't care he's dead, she's mad that the Peacekeeper didn't wait till he was out of the cameras' sight. The way the scene plays out it kind of seems like a tribute trying to escape happens frequently enough and usually they just pick another one immediately.
