The head and neck area is a pretty small target and is packed with very critical body parts.
She apparently managed to hit that small target five times without touching the windpipe, carotid, jugular, brain, spinal cord, etc. That seems incredibly unlikely to me. I was just surprised is all.

I kept expecting to read in the story that he eventually died. 38s are the only reason he's alive I think. Any bigger caliber and it's lights out.
yes, it's quite remarkable that such injuries are survivable, but i guess not as unlikely as you would suspect...

You have serious problems if you think this is a "great" story.

+1 - A mother protecting/perhaps even saving her kids from a criminal is a GREAT story. *NM*

Story can be fiction or non-fiction, and that's an irrelevant point anyway, Apollo 13 was real

You're right--nothing can be good if a better situation might have hypothetically been possible

Yeah, I had the same reaction. 5 shots to the face/head and the guy is going to survive?
