Damn. Sounds like he got a few rounds in her, but didn't finish the job, turned to run away, and got shot in the back.
"The woman, Yasmine Hider, pulled out a gun and made the couple walk back into the woods, according to the statement. Simjee then pulled out his own gun, leading to an “exchange of gunfire” in which Hider was shot several times in the torso and Simjee was shot in the back, the statement said."

People ask why the police fire dozens or hundreds of rounds in these situations, and this might be a prime example. If you are justified in using deadly force, then use it fully.

See, now you're racial profiling... It's statistically true. But you aren't supposed to publish trends like that because people get annoyed when you highlight that different cultures have behavioral trends.

It's because they're used to driving mopeds and don't know how to run over 35mph.

Totally depends on age. And gender. Grandma Yin isn't street racing.

For @Southern_Transplant 's sake that's what we call gender and age profiling.
