From this bit of "evidence" it sounds like these special operations police went in thinking he had a gun, therefore ANY move the guy would make could be mistaken for going for his weapon.
I understand the whole illegal firearms thing in the UK, but to make a special operation to stop this guy in a cab to take his weapon seems really, really suspicious.
Just to let you know, this scenario which is also known as a "convenient excuse for a kill" has been played out many times in the U.S.
The cops use this to simply say "we thought he was going for a gun."

the police had intelligence that he was on his way to do a revenge killing after his cousin was stabbed to death a couple of months ago. the fact he got shot is bad news for him if he didn't pull it, but if you play with fire you'll eventually get burnt. whenever the police fire a gun in this country which isn't that commonly, it's investigated by the IPCC which is an independant organisation that investigates the police very thoroughly.
