What I don't understand is the army vet was leaving already and the cop was wounded and sounded worse for wear, why fire at him again? He could have survived that encounter and pressed charges later with his dashcam footage.

Cop was doing his best to neutralize a hazard. I'm sure in the moment with adrenaline going, the only thing he could probably think of was stopping him. He was doing his job all the way to the end
