He did not get a single shot off until the car was on him. His gun would have been over the car bonnet as he fired. If he had messed up in any way - eg slipping on the ice and falling on his arse like the other cop in the left of the frame, he may have under up under the wheel, by which time a bullet hole on the wheel would not have helped.
Explain this to me then. We saw the bullet hole in the windscreen. In order to achieve this he had to be in one of 2 places,

So he was either in immediate danger, in which case it was very unlikely that his first shot would have hit the target without some freaky ricochet.
Or, as you say, he moved out of the way, was no longer in immediate danger, and then fired 3 shots from outside the path of the car.
If he missed the first shot, that means the 2 shots he took from the side of the car, leaning in through the driver's window, were completely uncalled for.
If he moved out of the way to take the first kill shot, then he was no longer in danger.
At a bare minimum, the subsequent 2 shots were excessive.
But your explanation is on shaky ground.
He was either justified in the first shot he missed, or if he hit her with it, he took the shot off to the side, no longer in the path of the car.
Or are you going with, if you move a car near law enforcement, they can light you up, full immunity?
