He got a little complacent, probably because I'll bet the call wasn't "I want to stab people." Or at least that info wasn't passed, otherwise he'd never have gone in alone in the first place.
He's right to be worried about over-penetration, but shooting the suspect in the hallway which is in line with their apartment is probably the best bet.
I'm willing to bet he was looking at doors because he got stabbed in the face, and his brain turned off, his reptile brain went full fight-or-flight mode, and he was trying to back away and run into a room to hide in; which would explain why he didn't shoot: he was still thinking "Run away!" until he remembered he had a gun.
All of his training fell out of his brain. I'm not gonna bash anyone too bad on that, (because "everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face stabbed in the head") but it was something that did nearly kill him. So it's time for some remedial action. It's about as bad as this incident from Oklahoma City. Now contrast that with this dude from Madesto PD.
