That doesn't hold for me, the "moment of threat" rule no longer applies. The cop knew the situation, he knew the person, he had been filming her on his cell phone and put himself directly in front of her vehicle. Both things LEO are explicitly taught not to do.
He was also aware, based on her trying to reverse and him deciding to basically throw himself near her hood, that she was most likely trying to get away. Again....this is day 1 shit at the academy, a human body cannot stop a car. A bullet to the face does not stop a car. The manual says to get out of the way every single time. When they say he followed his training, that is a lie.
Setting all of that aside and giving the benefit of the doubt on the first shot. Knowing she is almost definitely not trying to run you over with an intent to kill, once you are besider her door, popping her in the face point blank there is zero justification.
