Hmm. It's a big mistake, but cops in stressful situations shoot fellow officers by mistake every year.
If this was an accident, hopefully he doesn't go to prison. It's possible that he didn't get a good look at cop when the officer got out of the vehicle. Someone had entered the robbery scene, gotten out of the vehicle and robbed him. He 's running away and someone steps out of another vehicle and approaches him. I can see how he could have assumed it was an accomplice. The guy had him face down on the ground and he didn't get a good look. It takes a lot of ifs to line up, but the story is plausible.
