We didn't see the actual shooting, but it appears maybe the officer drew the .45 , the BG grabbed it and it discharged into his abdomen. The officer chose not to shoot him again, and I feel he felt that he could hold off the guy physically until help arrived. I don't believe the officer ever intended for the abdomen to be his target. I felt that he showed much self restraint. I'm sure that if one of us had been the officer, we would not have done any better under the circumstances, if as well.
