"Police said three officers fired a total of five rifle shots at a man who had been holding a gun inside a stolen car in Seattle."
"Police said the man had been holding the gun to his head and moving it in out of sight, creating a dangerous environment."
No doubt the area was secure and there was no indication he had a hostage so what was the concern? That the man might shoot himself?
How many does that make for shooting deaths at the hands of SPD officers in the last year. Even if every one of them was totally justified, isn't this a little strange that there would be so many (or least the appearance)?
