It does not surprise me, pistol bullets are known to fail even with good hits, look at Jennifer Fulford's story she took 7 direct hits & fully recovered. Michael Platt had an unsurvivable wound, but he did a lot of damage before it killed him. 80% of the people that get shot fully recover. But the important part is she stopped his attack on innocent people.
