It has been shown that in the heat of a situation people can fire off rounds and lose count, or fire many more than they thought. This is espicialy true with a semi auto pistol.

IE the cops were under stress. This is understandable becuase really how often does anyone inculding a cop find themselves in such a situation. There are only a handfull of people who are trained to deal with such situations, ie special forces Ranger's, SWAT, SEAL's, ect.

Lastly the first rule of handling weapons is you don't point a gun at anything that you don't fully intend on killing. IE you don't fire warning shots, only in video games.
