Police shooting charging dumb*** ......

Anyone who has had training will tell you, if a guy with a knife gets within 5 feet of you, he has the ADVANTAGE. Unless you get lucky and do a 1 shot drop, you are going to get cut. And maybe dead.

Forget 5 feet...within 21 feet...yes 7 yards away he could cut you up before you could have gotten a shot off (assuming the gun was holstered).

Even from something like 27 feet, another 2 yards farther then was tested during the famous Teuller drills, you are still likely to get cut if you fire your shot when the bad guy is only 6 feet away, knife raised, running fast and about to stab you.
The bad guy's momentum will still carry him forward into you even after you shoot.

If your one gun shot does not result in an instant incapacitation such as by severing the spinal cord, chances are the bad guy will still have enough energy to slash you and stab you a couple times before he passes out from blood loss.
