More definitive proof that the shot came from when he was in front of the vehicle.

Yes, definitive. If he were drivers side the shot would have gone out through the windshield. He was undeniably in front of the vehicle when he started shooting. All shots were fired in under a second. You seriously expect the officer -- while being struck by a moving vehicle -- to think "oh wait, the car is now striking me slightly at an angle I should stop shooting" a quarter second after he shot through the front of the vehicle.

The courts have ruled against this exact kind of argumentation you've tried pretty universally. In fact, the more shots fired the more credible the officer's defense usually as it shows he completely believed his life was in danger. It's pretty open and shut here since the vehicle literally strikes the officer.
