We are working on 2 cases where a 9mm resulted in a "1 shot stop."
Case 1:
Suspect 1 (gunner) and suspect 2 (unarmed) try to rob someone. Victim refuses to hand over his wallet, fights with the suspects for a few seconds, and tries to run away. Suspect 1 fires a round at the fleeing victim. The round hits the street, ricochets, and strikes the victim in the back of the neck. Victim drops dead.
Gun was a Hi-Point 9mm with some Winchester 115g JHP.
Case 2:
Two officers respond to a domestic altercation. As they are walking up the sidewalk to the residence, the suspect opens the front door, walks out with a knife in his hand, and tells the officers "I ain't going back to prison," and runs at the officers. One of the officers draws his sidearm, fires 1 round striking the suspect in the chest, resulting in the suspect dropping to the ground. Suspect bleeds out and dies within seconds.
Gun was a Springfield XD 9mm with Speer Gold Dot 124g +P JHP.
Just thought I'd throw this out there to illustrate shot placement > caliber.
