So if your leg doesn't work, that prevents you from firing a weapon? Unless you're in the habit of pulling the trigger with your toe, I don't think so.
There was a case back a few years in Minneapolis where a guy with a machete was gunned down by cops. I was against the cops in that case becasue they were all far back from him, no one was near him, so there wasn't an immediate threat to anyone's life. There was no need to shoot to kill in that scenario.
In this case, the guy's got a gun, he's firing it at people, you gotta take the shot. And since pistols aren't super accurate on a good day (and get even more inaccurate when you're scared shitless and your adrenaline's flowing and your hands are shaking, as tends to happen to cops when people are shooting at them) it's entirely plausible that the girl would be hit.
