"She fired from about a foot away with a .50-caliber Desert Eagle handgun"

I doubt she can even fire the damn thing without breaking her arm.

Well the mass of a DE is enough that a proper grip on the weapon will make doubling the shot very difficult but not breaking anyone arms. We're talking about a 2.5 kg weapon with part of the gasses diverted to cycle it and a recoil spring and a low axis bore.

She definitely won't break her arms, but if she's not using both hands and a proper grip, she may have caught the thing in the forehead during recoil.
I played with a Desert Eagle 50 and a Smith & Wesson 50 last year. The DE was vicious to shoot while the S&W was quite pleasant, even though the max chamber pressure of the 50S&W is 60,000psi, nearly twice that of a 50AE. (A 50BMG proof round is 65,000psi)
A 3 inch thick hard cover book, properly held tightly closed, could stop a Desert Eagle in 50AE. If he used a different type of book from his test shot, or held it loosely or in a way that allowed air between the pages, ... well, good bye.
On the other hand, the S&W 50 would just break the same book in half and keep going, no matter how tightly you held it closed. The book might stop the bullet but won't stand up to the torque applied by it.
(The idea of holding the book tightly closed is to prevent the pages from moving upon impact. Basically, making the book appear to the bullet as though it was still a tree.)

Odd that the S&W is more powerful yet easier to fire.
Anyway, its a massive gun for a girl to use, they really dont have the mass and strength to use big weapons.

As Darwin said, using the gray matter between the ears only as a spacer to keep them apart is a serious disadvantage.

To be honest, that would be 99% of the human race. Here on CP you don't get another episode of 'Planet of the Apes' every day. Maybe every other day, but not every day.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

There may be a little truth in that.

I'm thinking you're exaggerating - 99%?
I'm still wondering why this guy even had a DE, they are $1600+. A lot of change for someone who isn't married, doesn't appear to bright and has a baby on the way.
Hmm - "not to bright" - never mind.
Paramedics said he died from a gunshot would to the chest. No kidding.

That should teach him to read the books and not to use them as armor.

Too late. They already have a three year old. Who will now grow up without a father, and who's mother is probably looking at a prison sentence.

I was going to point out that you have to survive in order to become a Darwin award contender, but Wikipedia disagrees. That's news to me.
