I worked with a cop who ventilated a criminal for trying to take his gun. The criminal would pull on the gun and the cop would pull the trigger. This happened several times. The criminal gave up, jumped in his car and drove away. Loss of blood forced him to pass out on a railroad crossing. Another cop found him and saved his life from an oncoming train. The criminal survived.

I'll bet he was just trying to get the gun to pawn it to buy some milk for his children.
