Well, see, I know nothing about the lessons of proper gunhandling, and I hope never to.

I still think if you are popping soeone who is running away, aim for the knee.

But he was using a shotgun - not exactly a gun you use for perfect aim.

And... if you aim for the knee, you can still inflict a deadly injury - femoral artery, etc.
