They were right in front of him, though, and closer. If it was a derange madman bent on causing as much destruction as possible before checking out, then I think he would have shot at them.
If you can shoot one person in the same amount of time you can shoot ten, and you're a madman bent on causing as much destruction as possible before checking out, you take the shot that gets you ten.

Notice that the police were not shot at. They were right there and easy targets. What could it mean?

That the return on investment was low. Shooting into a crowd pays more dividends for the effort than trying to hit a single cop from that distance.

So, he passed up shooting at cops right in front of him? I think that someone that self destructive would have shot at them.
