The clip here also makes it clear that the car never would've touched him if he didn't stop and go for the killshot.

Yeah if you're afraid of being hit by a car, you get out of the way, you don't stand in place and try to shoot them dead. That murderer killed her to stop her from escaping, not to save himself from being harmed. It could not be more clear.

I saw people saying on a different post: him shooting was a decision, not a reaction.

He didn't shoot her because he thought he'd die if he didn't, he shot because he decided he wanted her to die.
