Unless the BG has suicided or placed himself in surrender, he is still a threat. Belt buckle to belt buckle just makes it harder to miss and easier to ensure no bystanders will be hit.
If there is any time available you need it to set up that difficult shot imposed by the crowded mall not to let Mr/Ms BG know that there is opposition.
As for the law after the shooting, I ask the same question asked of all the what if folks, show me where it has been an issue at trial. Dig me up some case law.
The judge will not care what you shot him with, or how, only if there was justification in the first place. Once Mr/Ms BG made themselves a legal target everything else is just mental adjectives. Whether or not they die or how has no relevance on the proceedings, only your origonal justification to shoot. They remain a legal target until they surrender or die, and if he/she surrenders I'll at least bludgeon him/her into a pool of ketchup making sure they stay surrendered.
Carriers had better be aware of the dimensional aspects of the target.
I regularly practice on 3 dimensional reactive targets with obscured vital zones. It does make a difference and armed individuals should be aware of the limitations. It is a very common fault of trainers to fail to teach anatomy and three dimensional targeting.
