I would shoot until they stopped moving- and maybe I'd be so pumped on adrenalin I'd shoot even after that. If you're going to shoot someone, you should want them dead. There's really no other reason to shoot at someone. You don't point a weapon at someone unless you have a reason to want them dead. When I was younger, and babysitting, a guy started coming over the back wall of the condo I was in- so I got a big butcher knife, and the phone. And I kid you not- if I started stabbing someone, I'd keep stabbing until they were dead- if they were trying to come in my house (uninvited). I don't want you to get the idea I stab and shoot just any old visitor.

I've had a few shooting cases in the ER. One was truly life or death, quite dramatic, and the cop survived, while the shooter was more or less DOA.

The other was a young man off his psych meds, threatened his parents, eventually charged the cops. 2 beanbags to the heart didn't stop him, but a bullet in each leg did.
