Lets not gloss over his actions immediately preceding the shooting. I wasn't there, but did he run?

Was there a potential threat, circumstantial, but still there, from his place of residence, his clothing and finally his actions.

Why did he not just put his hands in the air and say "I give up".
Suppose you were walking along in a middle eastern city. You notice some guy following you. You look around, there's more people obviously following you. All are in civilian clothes. The faster you try to move away from them, the more obvious it becomes that they are trying to hem you in. Are you going to run, or are you gonna give up?
