[Gkhtc]He was hoping they would not kill the women by him drawing the attention.
Quite possibly. Also because hot rounds were coming through the windshield right in front of him? ME should find powdered glass in his face if so, which would have to have sprayed him before he got out.
Further, by getting out and running from the truck, he may have spoiled a setup in which the feds could simply start pouring rounds into the truck and kill everyone in it, in one nice, clean massacre, policing up the "problem people" and then making up whatever stories they wanted afterward. Betcha fifty cents there'll be no dashboard video available this month, or next, or next month after that ..... aww, it was all spoiled in an electrical storm.
I believe that. There was a round through the windshield. He might have been hit before he left the vehicle.
