A cop told me once that it is potentially dangerous to do that as it is easier to miss therefore you get a stray bullet. In that time when you're aiming for the leg they could attack you.

Also getting shot in the leg isn't any good especially if they have a gun, as it won't stop someone from firing back.

When they draw their gun it is more than likely to be a lethal shot for this reason.

As to why it took so many shots? Who knows but some criminals are just plain insane and keep going at you.
