Correct me if I'm wrong, I see she took only a single shot while she had the upper hand and the surprise. And no follow through. And that allowed them to return 2 shots, is that what you all see?

This is the classic example of not taking criminals down completely while one has the upperhand. We see this in movies all the time. It looks like the outcome was favorable for her here so I'm glad about that.

I'd recommend shoot to kill. No other options. And stay low, use both hands for better aim and control, and kneel down or stay low and planted. That really helps fire multiple rounds if need be much more accurately.

It is easier said than done but that's because the average gun owner likely to encounter this only go to the range once in a while. To me, ranges are only good for occassional fun and tests of your firearms but do not help prepare well for reality. Too many rules and restrictions. Go to the forests and train in simulated conditions without the rules and restrictions of a gun range. That still may not make a pro level training but can at least provide some level of instincts and confidence for such situations.

Yes.

I read G. Gordon Liddy's autobiography and the one thing I remember is his advice that if someone is shooting at you, you must shoot to kill and keep shooting even after you think he's dead. And then keep shooting him more.

Lots of people have been killed by "dead" men.
