Most bad guys don't just drop dead or stop immediately when they are shot. Even a good shot can take seconds to minutes to have a "stopping" effect. Wounded perps can and often do return fire.

Police are trained to keep firing until the threat is on the ground and no longer acting like a threat.

“Police are trained to keep firing until the threat is on the ground and no longer acting like a threat.”

Two to the chest, one to the head. Dead.
