If they shout "armed police, stop!" multiple times, as they're required to do by law, and a man who's just exited a house being watched under suspicion of housing terrorists runs towards a train with wires coming out from underneath a bulky coat (worn in summer nonetheless, slightly out of seaon), I'd prefer they shot him rather than ran the risk of allowing him to detonate another bomb.
If they're shooting him, and he could have volatile explosive material strapped to his body, I'd prefer they shot him in the face rather than do his job for him.
If they're going to shoot him in the face, you're going to kill him. What difference does 5 shots make over 1 shot, rather than making it more certain you are performing the task you set out to do? Killing someone with one bullet or 5 doesn't really seem that different to me.
I sincerely doubt anyone completely innocent would run from armed police shouting repeatedly at him with weapons drawn. Unless they had a death wish, and in which case, wish granted.
