I'll grant a qualified "reasonable" if the shooter aimed at the victim's chest and the victim spun as the cop pulled the trigger.
Otherwise. No. Especially if the other officer did manage to dodge the probes.
A cop should still be thinking whether the kill was warranted for DUI and resisting arrest.
The officer that fired had no way to know if the other cop had dodged the probes. It happened that fast. The suspect wasn't shot for a DUI or resisting arrest. He was shot for being a threat as he deployed a taser at a cop chasing him.
