At that range there is no spread.
Whether it's a slug or buckshot....its just like shooting a rifle at that range.

Nice shooting, Tex!

I don't think I would have been able to pull the trigger on that shot with a shotgun.

Why doubtful?
A lot of cops load 1st round slug followed with buckshot.

I think you see his brain (or large skull fragment) slide out as he falls.

I disagree.
Most carry both. Often time with the 1st round being the slug.

You'd be OK with someone shooting a shotgun with you as a hostage in that situation?

Not the packing from the shell?

Also the power from the shotgun guarantees he doesn't squeeze the trigger after the shot.
The brain is gone.

what is the purpose of loading a slug first and then buckshot?

yea, she said he pulled the trigger once when the gun was up to her head and the gun must have jammed.
i'm guessing she is pretty happy the cop never hesitated and took care of business.

Once 2008 or so arrived, criminals just became so stupid.
And why do people still act this way?
I miss 1988.

Maybe.
But, if that cop is off, I'm dead.
This should further serve the point that police really don't care about your life. They will stop the threat, no matter what.
