Longtooth nailed it. He either didn't believe he had been shot, or he may not have felt the first hit and thought she missed. There's no mention of caliber but she may have had something like a Kel-Tec .32 or .380.

Not necessarily.

Most untrained folks will likely shoot once then wait to see what effect it has, expecting the assailant to go down.

When he didn't, and she realized more was needed she didn't take quite so long with successive shots, yet seemed to be taking the time to carefully aim each one.

She partly got lucky and partly stuck with it until the job was done.

There was no mention of handgun caliber, so that may have been somewhat of a factor.

Ever since the Feb 2005 Tyler Texas incident in which a TX CHL holder, Mark Wilson, lost his life trying to stop a guy with a MAK 10 and body armor in front of the courthouse I've been drilling my students heavily in 2 to COM and then go for the "pumpkin".

More modern instructors like "SouthNarc" are now teaching "shoot 'em into the ground" tactics to get away from the "one shot stop" expectations.

The video is very interesting.
