Good, clean shoot.
I hope we are looking at the next Nick Sandman.

After slow-motion analysis, I am thoroughly impressed! Let's review:
Three thugs just assaulted and battered the kid. His adrenaline level is at top fight/flight survival mode state. Suddenly another thug came close, feigned a surrender, pulled a pistol, and pointed it point blank. The kid's defensive shot only ventilated the thug's upper arm. He turned away while STILL holding the pistol. The thug could have switched the pistol to left hand, turned around, and engaged the kid. I wonder if I would have the presence of mind to show mercy and not eliminate the IMMINENT threat*. Then another person approached with hands raised. He could have feigned surrender too! Kid did not engage, got up, and walked to the police cars to turn himself in.
*thankfully lefty did not have the will power to stay in the fight. His toughness only came out afterwards when he was safe inside a hospital, bragging about wanting to empty his magazine at the kid.
I hope one day the brave kid gives interview of what transpired and what went through his mind, just like how the Marine who secured the stolen police AR.
