Sorry Dave, I guess I didn’t make that clear. She shot him with a 20-gauge pump shotgun loaded with some smaller size of buckshot. He was aware that a direct, center hit at close range was likely to be fatal, so he was dodging and weaving “like his life depended on it”. Although she fired repeatedly, she was such a bad shot that she hit him only twice, once across the back with the edge of the pattern, and once in the thigh with most of the pattern. He explained to me that as he was dodging he was counting the shots, because he knew how many shells he had put in the magazine when he loaded it for her the day before (and no, I’m not making this part up). When he got hit in the thigh he went down, knowing that there was one more shell in the magazine. Fortunately for him, she decided to leave at that point. No charges were filed because it turned out that he was there (in her apartment) in violation of a restraining order. So, as you have undoubtedly realized, he was no genius.
