Shoot him in the leg/knee/shoulder if your only option is to use a firearm. There are plenty of ways to stop a person that don't include shooting said person six times, twice in the head. He didn't deserve that.
I don't know that he deserved to be shot in the first place, but once the decision to shoot was made I think most officers are trained to shoot to kill.
