12. Brown was hit a couple of times in the shoulder

chances are, the French cop that wounded the terrorist was a sharpshooter with a scoped bolt action rifle without the stress of being under direct attack. Wilson had a pistol and that the stress of being already violently attacked. Add that to the fact that the legs were moving. A shot that would be almost impossible by anyone.

Of course, a shot in the leg can also be lethal as a deli clerk in Del Ray Beach, Florida, found out the hard way. After the clerk emptied the cash register, the robber decided to take one of the customer's totter as a hostage. That is when the clerk shot him in the leg, which sliced the femoral artery, killing the robber within a minute.
