Shooting was absolutely justified.
However, at a minimum, that last shot is a problem. You could argue all the shots after he's on the ground are a problem but that last one for sure.
If charged the defense will likely argue that the stress of the situation caused so many shots to be fired. A cop in Chicago put 16 rounds into a Perp, most while he was on the ground and his defense was that the first shot was fatal so the rest didn't matter. Didn't work. Cop is in jail.
