Father kills man sexually abusing his daughter, Father is remorseful (Internet celebrates)

71. 80-90% of gunshot victims survive. No assault is lethal 100% of the time.

So do about the same number of stabbing victims. It's harder than most people think to kill a human being.

It's also a LOT harder than most people think to incapacitate a human being WITHOUT killing them or almost killing them. Case in point you can go through war histories and find plenty of stories of guys getting shot, sometimes two, three, four times, still participating in the battle, and surviving. You've probably heard of one guy who went on to a long and healthy life after getting shot four times with an AK47: former presidential candidate General Wes Clark.

People are accustomed from TV and movies to think that it's easy and safe to, for instance, knock a person out with one or two punches. The reality is that it's neither safe nor easy, and if you DO manage to knock someone out, the line between them being out and being dead or a vegetable is thinner than most people ever imagine. That's why career boxers are basically signing up to be turnips later in life, and that's with a lot of safety and padding. So by the time you finally succeed in punching out the person who's threatening you or your family, you may have already killed them by accident.
