Not covered in the article; a shot to the leg can cause someone to very quickly bleed out. Police aren't equipped to handle such trama, especially on a suspect that's high on god knows what.
I don't think they bothered to get that deep into the other reasons for not doing it.
They didn't but it'd help their discussion on why mr. "Just fire a shotgun in the air" isn't qualified to discuss such matters let alone lead the country.
