Wow, that video is something.

The shooting was at Seattle Pacific University a few years ago. The shooter killed a young man by shooting him in the back of the head with a birdshot load from a Browning over and under 12 gauge. The young woman in the video took that full load to the upper right chest. Even though it almost killed her (severed artery, collapsed lung) she didn’t even stagger.

Would a 00 buck round have left her standing and walking around? I doubt it, but until I saw this I would have thought the close range birdshot load would have more effect than it did. I’m glad for her sake we’ll never know.

She recovered and testified at the guys trial. He got 112 years.
