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.

You are right, the people around the officer were in immediate danger; one died.
Also about the options; in other countries police will just deal with the situation. Usually without killing anyone. It is this US bullshit to solve things by killing. It is because of the culture where human life is not valued. Unless the value part means overpriced healthcare.
