And before someone comments about some 'over penetration' nonsense, it should be noted that during the Boston Marathon Bombing 200 shots were fired by LEO's. Of those 200 shots, 5 shots hit.

With that type of accuracy, 'over penetration' is the least of your concerns and IMO sounds ridiculous to worry about.
Even with misses, overpenetration is a concern and here's why.

A premium expanding handgun round that misses, can certainly kill one innocent bystander, but it's quite unlikely to cause a second fatality although it may cause a second injury. In a worst case scenario, a single non-expanding handgun round that misses its initial target has enough penetration to cause 2-3 bystander fatalities and perhaps even a fourth injury.
