That video looks bad. It sounds like the officer says "He's got a gun" first which puts the other on high alert. Then he says "he's going for the gun" at which point the officer shoots.
I'm not really sure what the guy could have done from that position. Seems unlikely he'd be going for his gun while on his back with two officers restraining him. And the odds of him grabbing his gun, aiming, and firing seem slim.
Will be interesting to see what the charges are. The guy who yells "he's going for his gun" would seem to be more at fault than the guy who shot in my opinion. The guy who shot was going off information he was told.
