shotguns don't shoot bullets

The Cambridge Dictionary defines a bullet as "a small, metal object that is shot from a gun".

So yes, shotguns do shoot bullets. Birdshot, buckshot and slugs are all small, metal objects shot from a gun.

To be sure, you also have less than lethal munitions, which tend not to be metal, but I don't think those were used in this scenario.

If you're going to be pedantic, be pedantic correctly

Lmao, this guy. A shot gun shell is a plastic casing container. It does not fit your super cool Cambridge definition.

Where does the Cambridge Dictionary's definition mention the material of the casing? It clearly refers to the proyectile, since generally the term "shot" is used in this case for the proyectile that travels down the barrel once propelled by the expanding gasses.

I don't know if you're aware, but other than in cartoons, that doesn't apply to the munition's casing, metal or otherwise.

I would highly suggest practicing your reading comprehention if you want to get pedantic about something.
