Before the Military Police in the Marines, I was a Police Officer.
Both times I was trained, 1 shot, 1 kill. I was also taught we don't have spare ammo to go around just to unload on people, and I was taught to never discharge a weapon more than needed because it 'more than often' miss and hit someone else. And being that we're in war time, I can guarantee you police stations around the nation have ammo restrictions - so them shooting him more than once, it's rather bizarre - seeming that I know we're low on ammo.
Btw, I have never put more than 1 round into a person... ever. If you have a knife and you're 20 feet from me, I will hit you 100% of the time, any place I want. If you're a deer or a boar, on the move, I will hit you. If you're a bird, taking off, I can hit you with a bow.
Tell me people can't hit a human from 20 feet, coming at you, with aim already on them... crazy talk, pure stupid really. Fuck, it's impossible to miss.

Then you are talking pure anecdotal evidence. One shot, one kill only applies to Snipers, and every defensive and tactical firearm course I've taken, the myth of one shot, one stop is abused and laughed at. You keep firing till you are safe, especially with 9mm. Empirical data fully supports this training in this manner.
The FBI uses one scenario where a Perp is shot twice center mass, fires back and kills the police officer.

There is a plethora of evidence of police officers unloading their clips and only hitting once. I remember my first firearms instructor telling me he got into a fire fight inside of an elevator, less than 5 feet from each other and they both missed before he could disarm the other guy.
Basing how a firefight would unfold without knowing the variables, behind your monitor, that's crazy. And frankly I'm surprised that you would post what you did considering you've been in combat and know if anything can go wrong, it will.
