The number of shots does’t matter!
OR~!~...he may have been reaching for a weapon, then use that weapon to take one or all of the kids in the back seat as hostages. all the kids & perp may have been killed in such an escalation, and i can only imagine what the headlines would've said if that happened. 'inept police allow kids to be killed.' damned if you do, damned if you don't. blake was a bad man. period.
