Frankly, I fail to see how back-up would have reasonably been expected to change the outcome, except having two officers shooting at the guy instead of one. Waiting presents several possible problems which have already been addressed. Knowing the outcome, it's easy to second guess. Not knowing, it seems natural to want to make sure the guy isn't slitting his own wrists while you wait for backup.
