Back in 1984 a guy named Bernhard Goetz did.
Shot 4 of them on the subway. All survived, one was paralyzed. NYC threw the book at him. Acquitted on everything but a couple of gun charges. Served 8 months in the end.
Then, New York being a garbage dump, one of the perpetrators sued him, got a half-Black jury, pulled an OJ by trying to make a big deal out of "prior racist comments," and won a $43m judgement.

So the moral of the story is ... shoot your attackers dead to avoid testimony and follow-up civil suits.
