My department forbid warning shots and aimed shots at extremities, so it was center of mass only. I was taught that in a face-to-face shooting situation to aim for the belt buckle with your first shot and if a quick follow up shot was needed the recoil should put in the upper chest area assuming that I did everything else right.

I was also taught that you never point a gun at someone you are not ready to shoot and you never shoot someone you are not prepared to kill.

Safe shooting all!
