You could not pay me enough to advance on an armed man under those conditions.
The officer that got shot in the face was not properly trained in use of his firearm. You can not safely have a dominant side for shooting if you have to go around a corner. If the corner is to the left, then the gun is fired from left. You want to present the smallest target possible. It will not absolutely save you, but you get better odds of not getting shot. I am not sure if the corner was cover or concealment. There were projectile strikes on and the weapon used appears to be shotgun. So that corner probably offered cover if the shotgun was loaded with buckshot.
