My brother, a Marine, told me to make sure if I had to fire the gun that I aimed for the body mass in the middle. (He said law enforcement is taught that too; none of this shot them in the leg stuff.) He wanted to make sure I was capable emotionally of doing that. I assured him I was. Still am.

Yeah, whenever people say something like, "why didn't they shoot him in the shoulder?", I have to assume they've probably not handled a gun much, let alone under fire. I've never been in a gun fight, but having competed, I can tell you that the stress definitely affects your precision. Unless you've trained a ton, keep it simple.
