There were non ice agents in the mix. One of them could just as easily have taken a shot and every officer would have responded accordingly. There is a lot of potential for civil strife. More so for martial law which could be coming soon. There are a lot of mentally ill people in Minnesota. Many of them paid protesters.
It was quite a scrum. The other theory that makes sense to me is that there was a shout of "gun gun gun", one agent had his eyes on it in the quickdraw holster on the suspect's belt, saw a hand reach in and grab it, and fired assuming it was the suspect grabbing it when in fact it was being removed by another agent. The occlusion makes that a possibility, but it would require pretty rigorous sightline analysis to establish. If that is indeed the case, the situation was handled poorly.
