You're not shooting to kill you are shooting to stop.
You don't aim at that distance (up to 7 metres) as you keep both eyes open so you can see exactly what's going on. So it's called sense of direction shooting. At that distance anything can happen so if it has got to the point that you've drawn your weapon you want to have the best chance of stopping someone. Two rounds in quick succession will hopefully do the job. If it doesn't then two more. Bear in mind you are shooting at the body mass/chest. If the assailant is wearing a bullet proof vest and your rounds aren't stopping him then you shoot at the head until "he" stops.
With a Glock 17 between 8 and 25 metres you fire one carefully aimed shot.
