The intermediate event of the crime stopping (not the person being disabled) when a round hits the BG isn't really discussed. As Claude mentioned, it's hard to find instances of a criminal who took rounds and continued the usual property crime. We do have the Miami Shootout and other extremes but a burgular who gets shot and continues to take the silverware is hard to find....

Part of the difficulty is the inherent unpredictability of the future.
There's an excellent chance that any problem will be pretty routine (in fact, there's an excellent chance there won't be a problem).

I haven't seen that, but then again, I haven't been everywhere. My experience is that the better training focuses on basic skills.
