Kill from a close distance

[bieasy]

Hi,

When someone use a gunfire and shoot another person from a very close distance, we say in French "Tirer à bout portant". (= To shoot from a carrying edge) Do you have a similar term in English?

shoot from 'point blank range'

So is the following sentence correct: "He was shot from point blank range"
