The cops either where the spray and pray type or they where using a long arm and the bullets hit the target and passed though him.

It said that the cops that fired where "counter terror" which means the guys that walk around with M-4 or G-36Ks a long arm and those guys are better trained than a beat cop at marksmanship(in theory).My assumption is that all or most of the rounds hit the gunman and went through him and then hit other people 5.56mm will pass though a body at close range.Even the GSG-9 in 1977 and the SAS raid on the Iranian embassy in London and the GIGN deal in 1994 and the Beslan incident in Russia in all of those some people did get hit by the raiders in a confined or veyr crowded situation there is only so much one can do you have to mitigate the threat and try not to hit anyone else it is a tight rope be to too careful and lots of people will get hurt too reckless it goes poorly as well.At Beslan a sniper had to shoot a girl in the leg to stop her from running back inside the school and to certain death.
