People will disagree and I wasn't there, but that is my view.
That guy didn't need to wind up dead.

I'm sorry but that's Hollywood fantasy land. No use of force training or reputable instructors any where teach that sort of method.
A firearm is deadly force and is employed only when deadly force is believed to be necessary. Besides that, there's no reason to believe that a shot in the leg would not have been deadly.
The guy CERTAINLY didn't need to end up dead and he could have NOT been dead by putting down the knife and complying. As cold as it sounds, the old saying of "Don't play with bull unless you're ready to deal with the horns." is absolutely true.
