Shooting to wound

"Shooting to wound" refers to the practice of intentionally aiming to injure rather than kill an individual when using a firearm. This concept is often discussed in the context of law enforcement and military operations, where officers or soldiers may be trained to shoot in a way that incapacitates a target without necessarily being lethal. The notion behind shooting to wound is that it may reduce the risk of fatal outcomes and allow for the possibility of apprehending a suspect alive.
