Does it ever bother anyone else in Resurrection when Clarke shoots Lincoln to kill Whitman (the sniper)? I know it's a great scene and all but what really bothers me is that the shot should have killed Lincoln. Statistical probability and the skill of the shooter still don't change the fact that it was complete luck (or bad writing?) that Lincoln survived that shot. Clarke had never even held a gun until a couple of weeks earlier in Day Trip so she definitely didn't have the skill.

So, did Clarke shoot Lincoln knowing he would most likely die or did she shoot him thinking he'd survive? Did she tell Lincoln "you are my people" as some sort of Last Rites or because she really believed it and wanted to save him?

Considering she left Octavia to die in Tondc, I'm leaning toward she expected Lincoln to die, too.
