From what the article said:

1) They didn't go outside because in the initial charge, Officer Crittenden was hit in the head with a flaming rag, as he pushed Terry and her daughter out of the way of the attack.
2) Both officers were involved in the physical fight with Dockery, not just Crittenden.
3) Who knows if Officer Crittenden attempted to drop the magazine? So far, there's not enough detail to know if he was trying to draw and use his gun, and Dockery managed to take it from him, or if Dockery grabbed it while the officers were trying to subdue Dockery. It's possible Officer Crittenden didn't know Dockery had his gun until it was turned on him.
4) (Not from the article, per se) Unfortunately, whether it's cops here at home, or soldiers overseas, sometimes the good guys do their best and things still turn out badly.
