A few things to consider, at least here in the US (and in the military) a female law enforcement person is legally permitted to skip other derrent methods when faced with a male suspect, ie they can pull a gun instantly, without resorting to other shows of force (saying stop, brandishing weapon, etc) warning shots are neither encouraged nor permitted, nor as "shots to disable" and most gun training venues train you to shoot "center mass", ie a kill shot.

Her situation is a bit different as he had already left her and made a run for his car which definitely complicates the matter. Still I think that it was justified.

btw what is a knuckle duster? is it like Brass Knuckles?
