4 shooters in a car get as many officers as are available. If those 4 shooters were the hardened "not goin' back to prison" kind or terrorists armed with AK-47s, there's not enough pistol packing patrol cars to say "too much". It just so happened it was 4 guys who rolled over as soon as their car stopped. Add to that the fact only a few people on LMPD have even been in a real deadly encounter. The more the better when it comes to potential multiple shooters. We can't SWAT our way out of every problem.
