I think shootouts result in more arrests and/or less criminals on the loose

There are a lot of cases where a criminal robs a person, gets away and is never caught.

It seems to me that almost every time a citizen exchanges fire with a criminal, eventually the criminal ends up getting arrested. Sometimes this is because the perpatrators are wounded and when they go for medical attention they are apprehended. I think sometimes there are cases where one of the perpatrators are either killed or seriously wounded and left behind at the crime scene, and that gives the police solid leads to catch the remaining criminals.

I know the NRA keeps track of how many times in a year citizens use firearms to defend themselves, but I've never heard this particular aspect talked about. i think when citizens deploy and fire their weapons at criminals - there is a very high rate of eventually apprehending them.
