Heck, *one* shot could have sufficed if they just wanted to kill him, but
they believed they were trying to prevent a detonation (you places yer
bets, you takes yer chances). If, like the officers involved in this
shooting you think the guy can detonate a bomb, why risk it?

I had the impression that the task of the cop that grabbed him was to pin
his arms and hands in case he tried to reach for a detonator, while someone
else was responsible for taking the shots. And I'm sure his ears may still
be ringing...

No bomb. Just panic.
