You are completely wrong. Deadly force is not supposed to be used when met with deadly force. Instead, deadly force is used when "the person or persons in question are believed to be an immediate danger to people around them".
Was the officer's life in danger? Of course it was. There was an armed man in a car refusing to relinquish his weapon and refusing to obey ANY order of the officer after multiple warnings.
