The justification is that bad on the evidence that the police had: Car matches description of vehicle in earlier shooting; vehicle has bullet holes; suspects fleeing, the suspects were a potential life-threatening danger to other people. They did not know the fleeting suspects were unarmed. Based on the available data, it was reasonable to assume the fleeing suspects were armed and dangerous.

I normally am one who is against police violence, but in this situation, I agree on this action.
For example, the Sacramento shooting of a teen out doing criminal mischief and vandalism - no cause for shooting the suspect. A car involved in a shooting, with bullet holes in it, and 3 suspects all bolt in different directions? That screams Danger danger Will Robinson.

One should assume all in USA are armed. Its not RAS or PC .. other than the traffic violations.
