The article stated the cop “thought” the grandfather had a gun.
You said,”The man holding the baby was reaching for a gun.”
This was no where to be found in the article.

A loaded pistol, shotgun and improvised explosive device were found inside the home, police said.

The device contained black powder and ball bearings and was safely diffused by police.
