He wasn't hired for just one store, but for a shopping center. From the article:

HPD said the owner of the shopping center recently hired officers to work security due to break-ins at the businesses.

My guess is we will find out the dead man had at least one warrant out for his arrest. If this had happened to me, I would have been sitting still and figuring out how much I could sue the shopping center for unlawful arrest - not shoving the officer, running away and then charging him in such a manner.

probably true. i would have done the same as you if it got to that point.

i think though the guy was in cop mode rather than security guard mode and the cop escalated this into a situation that he believed allowed him to shoot the guy.
