Well, according to the reports, he shot the intended victim 5 times. Assuming he put a round in the chamber and topped off the magazine, he started out with 8 rounds. There was one round left in the mag after the police killed him. 8-6= 2. Nine people were wounded so the police had to have shot at least 7 people. Assuming he shot at the police, and there is conflicting testimony on that, it doesn't seem like much of a stretch to believe the police, who discharged 16 rounds, shot all nine people who were wounded.
