Not at all... One shot - one kill has true meaning, a trained meaning.
It's very easy to shoot center left/high mass on a person that is in close range, it's a bit harder to hit a moving target in the head though.
If you have the ability to take multiple shots and hit your target, you have the 'time' and ability to make a single clean shot. A shotgun for example is far less dangerous when used correctly in an 'urban' area and can be used to stop an attack without killing a person or even hit a hostage, so it's ability is rather remarkable at stopping attacks and being safe - at close ranges.
Multiple cops didn't have to shoot him... not saying they didn't have to kill him, but the force used far out weighted the danger.
