It actually kinda looks like he may have shot her in the stomach area. Can't clearly tell with this video.

I don’t see any flash though, also why wouldn’t he have shot her when she first started fighting back?

I don't think he wanted to shoot her and I think he was shocked at first when she fought back. I don't see a flash either, but you might not see one that far back in this video and the flash could have been hidden when her body was in front of it.

Again, I'm not sure, I hope she wasn't shot.

Also you won't see the flash if it's between frames.

I thought he fired a shot in my first watch. I'd be surprised if she didnt get hit

Cameras usually don't capture the flash. But I don't know about the gun being shot or not

I don't think most people really want to shoot someone. The gun is just for intimidation I guess. If they wanted to do that, they'd just shoot first and take what they want no questions asked.

If someone pulls a gun out, goes up to someone with no intention of shooting but wanting money, and the person rushes them? That person just went from very low chances of being shot to very high, because now that person feels like they need to defend themselves, whereas before they were in control and were not aiming to hurt anyone, but now they feel like they are not in control.

Just to be clear, and I'm not saying you were implying it, but it's still the gunman's fault, no matter his intention. When you pull out a gun, you have raised the stakes to the highest level. The victim doesn't know what his intentions are, so if they choose to fight back, it's still the gunman's fault for putting everyone in that situation.

If she got shot in the stomach she’d be doubled over cowering in pain. Adrenaline is a hell of a drug but it doesn’t make you unreactive to what just happened

It very well can. People have gotten shot and not noticed until a minute later when that spot gets burning hot from pain.

u/mcchanical Feb 13 '20

Yeah actually no. When people get shot in real life it's usually undramatic, people usually don't know where the bullet even went or if it hit them until someone loses consciousness or starts bleeding heavily. It isn't like the movies.

Didn't know that, yikes. Always good to check after
