At first, I was wondering how she got that shot off, then I remembered that she managed to hit three attacking dogs in Tobias Henckle's barn in "The Big Game/Revelation" with three shots.

Procedurals 1: Anything You Say Can and Will Be Used Against You.
This thread is for procedural TV, shows where the primary idea is to figure out the case. [NAFDA]
JJ's one for one with every bullet fired. I think Hotch and Morgan have the most human kills (Elizabeth Bear keeps a count in her LJ), Emily's fired an insane number of bullets (she empties her clip at least once), and Gideon never fired a gun. Rossi has at least killed a bird.
I love the bit where she's hacking into her system and she's like "I don't have time for this" and he says "I thought you had skills" and then she crashes his system.
Rossi has at least killed a bird.
This made me guffaw out loud at work.
Heh.
It was a great "This is not Gideon" moment. Bless Rossi. I didn't properly understand how much Gideon had been irritating me until he showed up.
I know that Reid has killed at least two unsubs (Tobias and the LDSK guy)--anyone else?
Rossi has at least killed a bird.
And the UnSub in the same episode, which also gave Morgan reason to roll around on the floor and draw his gun.
What? I never said I wasn't shallow.
Kathy, I don't think so.

So, yeah, Reid was at 2 then, and Hotch and Morgan tied at 4.25. I can't click on Elizabeth Bear's link from work, so I don't know if she's updated it through the end of the season.
ita, there's an update about a month later: [link]
Thanks for that link to Elizabeth Bear. I had actually read her fanfic last week, but I didn't see any of her episode reviews, which I'm now going through. Good stuff right from the very beginning!
ETA: I'm now reading her take on "The Big Game/Revelation," and I love what she says about Reid:
Looking at it from a character perspective, this is a young man whose major established heroic character trait is an egoless willingness to risk himself, for his team-mates and even for mentally ill criminals. He's so courageous he's stupid with it. And this is something we see again and again and again: Derailed; Somebody's Watching; Fisher King Part II; Sex Birth Death. Reid may not look like much, but he's a fearless little bastard, and absolutely vicious in a fight. (In fact, it's how he got himself into this situation in the first place.)
It is a mistake to assume that Reid is in any way, shape, or form an innocent. He may be inexperienced, even naive in certain limited ways... and generally gentle, soft-spoken, and insecure... but there are no accidents of characterization in this show. And the man's a card sharp. Who cheats. And a fair amount of the time, that flinchy stammering is a put-on designed to lower someone's defenses.
