Yes, he was so terrified in his French cuffs and expensive watch that he had to emerge from the side hall (on the other side from the woman where was climbing through) where he was lurking, gun drawn and aimed, then fully emerge, take take several more steps closer before firing, so terrified was he ...

The neck shot was likely due to bad aim - probably aiming for head shot. Just plain deliberate murder. Fortunately for him, she was ex-mil and white so the press will find him innocent, while law enforcement may not find him at all.
