He gets a shot.
I agree, then up it to "anything (anyone) worth shooting is worth shooting twice".
Colonel Cooper recounts in his book, "To Ride, Shoot Straight and Speak the Truth", the case of a man who was attacked, and, using a .380, emptied the gun into the assailant. A DA wanted to press charges, on the theory that "you emptied the gun into him, that was overkill and you executed him in cold blood". Colonel Cooper experimented with how fast he could keep a mag full of .380 on a target at the distances involved and concluded that it could be done quickly enough to be within what he termed "hot blood". Cooper concluded with an observation that .380 wasn't a big enough caliber either in the moment or in the courtroom.
