That officer fired his handgun and a second officer, farther away, simultaneously fired his electric stun gun

Two officers on the scene. One felt the situation could be handled with his Tazer and the other felt the situation required deadly force. Why the different conclusions?

Did both officers have both types of weapons on them at the time? Maybe the one officer who shot the fire-arm was not armed with a stun-gun, or was not within range of a stun-gun, and thus did not have that option.

The one with the Tazer was further away. Distance makes any situation seem less dangerous.
