So from the time police first engaged him no more shots were fired at the crowd. Perhaps maybe they took their time because a) they were shot at and b) he was no longer shooting at the crowd? I'm willing to be their response would have been a little different had he kept shooting at the crowd after they first engaged him.

No doubt in my mind that he shot himself because of the intial response by police and hotel security. So you then go from an active shooter to an armed and barricaded. Completely changes the response. As distasteful as it may sound you still have to give the guy the option to surrender if he’s stopped shooting. You can’t just breach the door and execute him because of what he’s done.
