He can't be tried for murder, the guy is expected to live.  Paralized most likely, but alive.  LEO's are trained to shoot till the suspect goes down, not just until they are "hit".  Seven does seem excessive but they were dealing with a known violent felon, and BTW radio trafric shows they knew who they were dealing with before they got there and that he had outstanding felony warrants.  Walking away is considered fleeing and using deadly force against fleeing felons has always been a justified use of deadly force.

You also have to factor in adrenalin.  He had already fought them and been tased while resisting arrest.  Those LEO's were rightous in there fear for their lives.  I believe statistics would show that in most officer involved shootings the amount of shots is usually escrssive because by the time they are shooting fear and adrenaline have taken over IMO.
