Oh, I don't know. Assuming the reporting here is correct:
1) police were responding to a MWAG call, so heightened tension and gunplay are very likely
2) suspect ignored their commands and retreated to house
3) he then reached for something while retreating.
This might even be suicide by cop. Why would you reach for a cell phone when the cops have guns trained on you? To call the cops? Cancel dinner reservations?
If there were any negligence on the part of the police, I'd say it was shooting a guy holding a baby, when he could have easily fallen on top of the kid and killed it. As it turns out, he had two loaded guns nearby and very likely was retreating to grab one of them. We're all better off without this scumbag.
