I'm not sure it's relevant. The guy in question was shot with a single 9 mm bullet. What do the police use - I'm no weaponry expert, but my gut feel is this would be very unlikely with what the police use.
More to the point though ... the soccer player kept standing. Yatim was down after 3 bullets.
TPS use a Glock .40
9 mm and .40 are relatively equal bullet types from what I could gather in a quick google search. .40 cal bullets are a bit heavier providing a bit more force upon impact (given impact at the same bullet speed). And the article stated that he felt pain in his neck/head and CONTINUED playing soccer not just stood around biting his nails.
The boston bombing suspect also had a serious head injury caused by a bullet IIRC yet still was able to lead police on a manhunt and climb into a boat.
Point being a single bullet isn't enough to stop a suspect let alone kill them. The fact that Sammy was down only proves that he was down, in no way does it prove he was incapacitated or already dead.
