"I hate to second-guess Trooper Coates but I always point out to students that his last fatal error was not seeking available cover. Blackburn's vehicle was right beside him and he had one round left. Instead of taking the cover and reloading, he went for his radio. God knows we all want back-up in a gun fight but that gave Blackburn the time and opportunity to fire the final shot that pierced Mark's side. Remember there's a lot more to a gunfight that accuracy alone."
I guess most people would not imagine that the attacker could still retaliate after taking 5 .357 shots on the torso. I would probably assume that 5 rounds of 9mm on the torso should get the job done, much less 5 magnum rounds. Few years ago, there was a case where a lunatic charged against two police officers with a crowbar and he was shot 4 times in the torso by .38 Smith and Wesson. He died before the ambulance could arrive.
