I asked him, what if you didn't know him? His answer?...he would be dead.

Your BIL and the two cops with him are lucky that he was a very good shot who got lucky, then. If he'd shot at the leg and missed, he'd have had a crazy axe-wielding man in his midst.
I know that personally in that kind of situation...I'd want to be going home in the same number of pieces I went to work in. Your BIL took a massive risk, and he's damn lucky it worked out for him. Or he may have been facing an inquiry wondering why he missed and two of his fellow cops are dead, his 'friend' was dead, and he was cut up badly.
