I guess if someone tries to shoot me in the head point blank, but the cartridge fails to fire and the perpetrator runs away, then everything is fine, since no crime was committed in the end.

Attempted murder is a crime.

Just like attempted theft.

You can take that up with the parent's "if no crime has taken place".
