Never seen a person shot in the face, but I have seen many elk and deer shot in the face by hunting rifles up to .338 win mag run for miles with their bottom jaw or nose blown off!
If the perp in this case was hit from the side and through the mouth and jaw area, he could have been shot with a .50 AE and still survived.
As said earlier, we don't know the whole situation, so we can't say .38 spl is a bad defensive round.
