17 shots? Where the heck did this guy think all of those bullets were going? If one of them, say hit my kid I'd be pretty damn pissed!
No doubt about it he was justified in going after this mutt who tried to murder him in cold blood, but hells bells man, get CLOSER before you start pumping!
Perhaps being shot in the head by the perp had a teensy impact on how long he thought he should wait before returning fire.
He just got shot in the head. He probably thought he was a goner, and the last thing he was going to do was take out the thug that shot him in the head. Good for him.

He didn't hit any kids. He hit a woman who was about to get carjacked and probably raped and murdered by a fleeing felon. Tragic? Yes. But he probably saved her life.

He should have kept a rifle on hand also, for just this purpose.
You have obviously not studied much about self defense or instinct. Most shooters, cops included, who shoot in self-defense or emotionally loaded situations like this one fire until the gun empties. After the first shot, it is all adrenaline and instinct. They will not often recall firing more than once.
I don't think he was thinking of much other than killing the s.o.b. who shot him in the head.
