That many gun shots in a close quarters gun fight is not uncommon---IMHO. Many times when police engage in a gun fight with bad guys there are many shots fired with only a few striking the intended target(s). The assailant is moving and shooting, and a young guy---or old guys that are recreational shooters--are unlikely to be successful in taking down the intruder in one or two shots.
Sad story of a violent perp that the justice system was unable to corner and contain before doing something really destructive.
The young man is to be congratulated on his inner strength and willingness to confront the mom's ex boyfriend.
