Those guys and girls were emotionally pumped. They did exercise some control. After "gun" and "shoot" were shouted they all stopped at one magazine!
When you say close, one officer was close enough to pick up a shirt that covered the hand the dirt bag would not show and expose the handgun he was holding.
Excessive force? After the first two or three rounds does the rest really matter. The guy did not want to give up. He had already killed two officers (one man one dog), wounded one officer, and shot at a third. He refused to show both hands when the officers were on top of him. He made the choice to go out in a hail of bullets.
