Well, I don't know what agency you work for, but I know for a fact that it is standard training across Canada to shoot to stop the threat, re-asses the threat after each round and go from there. The re-assessment can be very quick, split seconds in some instances. You can't just say well your honour we shoot three times then re-assess, because one round may have been enough to stop the threat in the first instance.
