Don't know the facts yet.

In general, if someone is trying to kill you with a car then you are entitled to shoot at him.

Now if you step in front of a moving car it gets blurry.

I used to be a peace officer and I don't know exactly when the paradigm changed from getting out of the way to opening fire. Without knowing the facts it's hard to say. It seems like that it is sop to fire on a moving vehicle these days. Our policy was to not fire at or from a moving vehicle unless there was an immediate threat to our life or the life of others
