I'm not saying it's justified, but all the officer knew is that he was responding to an emergency call of a police officer being assaulted.

The woman had NO GUN. The officer was no being assaulted nor was any of the three officers lives at risk when the third cop opened fire. This is not acceptable nor has it ever been acceptable to shoot at a suspect whom is unarmed and fleeing.
Added to this, the woman did not assault the cop, she resisted arrest and acting like a idiot, her son assaulted the cop. The cop clearly fired at the drivers side of the van, knowing the woman was on that side, not the son.
That cop should be facing attempted murder charges right now. If you were assaulted on the side of the road, then the assaulter got into their truck to drive away and you then opened fire as they fled, you would be charged with attempted murder because you are no longer defending yourself.
