I think the problem was the fact that Mr. McKown had not mentally prepared himself to shoot someone. edit: He may have had all the training in the world, but if you treat it like a game (which many people do) while training then it's going to be a bit different when things actually go south. /edit I'm sorry, but if someone is at a mall with a rifle they are there to kill someone. It should be a no-brainer, especially if you have the drop on them...

Goes back to the whole "Don't carry if you're not prepared to shoot someone."
