Gunfights aren't as smooth and choreographed as they are in the movies. For all we know, it's possible he was hit by a stray bullet. Do you know how much pressure the SEALs were probably under, with the scale of the mission they were undertaking? They probaby had no idea who was armed and who wasn't and to them it's easily a kill or be killed situation. I just think people expect perfection, maybe they ought to accompany the SEALs on a raid firsthand to see that it's not so smooth and easy to pull off as it may seem. I would shoot to kill too if the man was heading for a gun. I'm fairly confident he was unwilling to surrender. I think the SEALs deserve more credit then that.
