I have to agree with a couple of my cronies who thought the lady and little girl were entirely too close to be taking a shot at the guy while he was running away.

I will agree that you can't really tell if the guy was trying to shoot while he was running off or not AND the guy had a decent angle to avoid the innocents.

I learned a really important lesson about choosing a shooting angle at an action pistol match recently...in once scenario I gave a "bad guy" a Mozambique at ten yards, all three shots hit but the "no shoot" behind him took one round in the chest and head (not sure where the third one went).

Also surprising that those three .40 cals didn't turn off the BG's lights forever...I still love my 180 grain HP's though.
