I'd be surprised if there were only 6 shots fired by the officer, with all of them hitting Brown. As Shepp mentioned, there are numerous studies done of situations where a LEO has fired a weapon. The range is 30-50% of shots fired hit their intended target. Interestingly, the fewer police present, the higher the accuracy. But more intuitively, when the officer is the only party firing a weapon, their accuracy is much, much higher than when the suspect is also firing.
