Cops boxed him in (as he's heading northbound in the southbound lanes), get out to make the arrest, and he was still trying to ram his way out of the box. It was at this point that they began shooting in the cab. Might not have been explicitly necessary, but in the press conference Chief Hanson implied that they feared he was going to continue northbound in the southbound lanes, which probably would have ended up killing somebody innocent.
