People stop acting rationally when custody of kids is an issue. That situation probably could have been de-escalated but the man with the gun was threatened and the other guy did try to take it.
Most people I know that have custody issues that may turn hostile tend to do all meetings in public places to avoid anything like this. To keep it gun related though; I guess that also shows the effectiveness of a pistol caliber carbine.
