The VP was armed with a 28gauge shotgun, and most likely #7 1/2 or #8 shot. It's been reported that the guy was hit from 30yds. Frankly, at that range, the pattern (depending on the choke used in the gun) was probably about 3-4feet in diameter. And being a 28ga, there couldn't have been very many pellets that actually hit.

And the force of the shot couldn't have been that great. Effective killing range is typically 40yds...and that's for a little bird.
