Speculation at best. Since we were not there, we cannot say if the
confrontation was timed properly or not. Once he spotted the police,
he may have reacted in a threatening way. There was a lot going on
and a lot of police in the area and the perp was surely on edge too.

And he pulled the gun and pointed it at them.
