I believe there wasn't any more shooting from the room after this encounter. Perhaps shooter felt there wasn't any way to get away and ended it right there.
When I was down in the US earlier this week they were reporting he had a camera setup outside the door of his hotel so he'd know when the SWAT team arrived, and used that to determine when to shoot himself. Not sure how reliable that was, but that's what CNN was saying Monday.
