If the guy is smashing his car into buildings and vehicles his car is the weapon. If the officer reasonably believed the man was going to kill or maim someone he is authorized deadly force to stop him.

The way I read the story the guy was attempting to flee the area and during his attempt to evade the police he collided with the building.
He then disembarked from the vehicle.At that point unless he was brandishing a weapon at the police he was NOT a threat so he had NO reason to shoot the perp who was fleeing on foot.
This officer had better get himself a good lawyer because he’s going to need it.
