You may well have done exactly the right thing - but that doesn't mean that he is going to enjoy any of it.
If I was trying to help the victim and the leo's out, and for my pains ended up with a gun drawn on me, I would be upset too. I think I would behave more rationally than you described his behavior, but I would still be upset even once I knew you acted correctly under the circumstances.
I bet you get upset when anyone draws on you too, no matter how correct they are? Yes? It would be the normal and natural reaction. So for what it is worth, you did what you had to do and he did what he had to do, but he should have calmed down faster and acted better.
