I don't have enough information to know if the officer's firing was warranted or not, although I think him shooting his gun in the manner in which he did was a dangerous and foolhardy act, considering the potential grave circumstances.
I'm guessing that there will be some sort of civil suit, and the City will settle out of court with the woman to spare the City the expense of the trial, as well as possible court judgements, although it is likely some jurors would take the cop's side as well (I feel prosecutors will generally err on the side of not costing the City any additional money when possible).

Considering every pull of the trigger on his gun, was a potential life-ending event, merely being fired was letting him off far to lightly. He should have been charged with attempted murder, just like any other person whom isn't a cop would be charged.
