I suspect the shouted "Surrender" and then shot him within 1/5th of a second thereafter, just for CYA from the lawyers. In the book Horse Soldiers, the author makes clear that the SOG had orders to shoot him rather than take him alive, because they didn't want to deal with the political spectacle of a trial that would almost certainly be muddied by America-hating ACLU types.

Respectfully disagree. They could have just sent him to Gitmo, no ACLU around.
