Keeping at a safe distance seems like common sense, but what constitutes a “safe distance,” anyway? The famous Tueller Drill (or “21-Foot Rule”) is based on the idea that in general, a young, strong assailant can close that distance in less than 2 seconds
Did you notice how many shots it took to bring him down? If he was on meth or something, her first shot could have just pissed him off and sent him into a full sprint toward her. He probably should have just dropped the knife.
21 feet is the range that someone can reach and kill you if you're not already prepared to shoot.
But she was prepared to shoot.... Soooo?
She was ready to shoot. All I was saying is it was early. He was mostly stopped. I'm not aware of the back story here. Sounded like a car accident.
