Sure, you tell me that with a gun pointing at you. A loaded gun that
just killed another person. Maybe you can buy him a coffee and
persuade him to put the gun away and turn himself in. My choice is
shoot the SOB before he shoots me.

According to the accounts that I read, once he spotted the police, he
pulled a gun. Again, neither of us was thee so we can make up all
sorts of fantasy solutions. Point a gun at me though, I'm shooting.
