He was not immediately shot. Even after shooting the cop in the alley they gave him ample time to surrender after he was holed up.
He chose to stand his ground and shoot it out. A single police officer was able to flank him and take a shot over a fence.

Thieves have only one fear and that is getting caught! When I did my groups with my ex-cons I asked this very question and that fear of getting caught was the universal answer. Punishment is not a deterrent unless it is long term say 20 years. Today at church we discovered another converter stolen from one of our buses. We have also had a B&E where we had stolen a great deal of electronic equipment. As we have money we are increasing our security equipment and it is sad that we have to do this. We are just a small country church and do what we can for the community including a jail outreach of 30 years duration.

actually surprised Home Despot allowed the guard to go out in the lot,

most corporate places don't want you to do anything aggressive towards a shoplifter


engage, (as in be nice, say hello, can I help you etc) and then disengage if there is even a hint of aggression,

Had he lived he would have been fired.
