Exactly right. They guy could have had buddies, or they could be called to another incident that minute.

The incident was in October 2006. The exact quotation is, “I suspect the only reason 110 rounds was all that was fired was that’s all the ammunition they had.�

Here's a story containing the quotation: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15262111/site/newsweek/

Somehow, 110 rounds seems light for a SWAT team.
Not until the next morning did a 10-person SWAT team finally corner him. He was hunkered down under another fallen oak, not far from where he’d killed the deputy. When the cops spotted a gun in Freeland’s hand—Williams’s .45-caliber semiautomatic pistol—they opened fire on him. And plenty of it: 110 bullets in all, 68 of which hit him.
Do the math: 10 officers, 10 magazines with an average of 10 rounds and one in the chamber.
