    I would guess complacency initially (can’t recall a similar incident in recent memory), and also some of the language in the article lead me to believe that a particular threshold wasn’t crossed. Maybe that threshold is the only level of threat under which they are allowed to respond with deadly force. (that’s just rampant speculation on my part)

    I get the impression they were private security not police, so that would explain them being less trigger happy.
