There were three misses. Some of those four hits may have consisted of scrapes in the arms or legs.

Training says that you keep shooting until the person goes down. I would not have an opinion until I know exactly where the wounds are.
And with high doses of adrenaline in the officer from this action hard to shoot straight.
