The first story I read said he was attempting to surrender his gun and now an attorney says he never attempted to pull it.

I was involved in the shooting of a burglary suspect at my home last year and I easily surrendered my handgun from the back of my hip to the initial officer on the scene without having to touch it so it is indeed possible the dead man never touched his concealed handgun.

My weapon was returned to me at the end of the initial investigation the same afternoon as I was within my rights and the senior investigating officer was very courteous and professional the whole time. But he did keep the spent casings though.
