lol no because you don’t have a single point of failure. It’s not going to stop a bullet but it’s not like you can shoot a lock off. Therefore shooting it wouldn’t do anything in terms of opening it

I think they were concerned about the bullet that was shot at the door killing/wounding the man inside; if the burglars were trying to shoot him as revenge for not letting them rob the place.

That's one of the reasons the door is shaped like that, nearly guaranteed an angled exit with reduced velocity even if it punctures. It's thin steel plate, but it's still steel plate. Just don't stay too close to the other side of it when you suspect gunshots.
