...but I won't take a lawyers word for it just yet.

Still some unexplained parts to the story.
If you go to the store to buy a pellet gun, you pick one still in the box and either go check out or put it in your cart and continue to shop. Walking around with a pellet gun that looks like a real gun is a receipt for disaster as this story amply proves.
And if you freak people out with it enough where they call the cops and continue to walk around with it until the cops show up and then still don't drop it like a hot rock bad things can happen. (and did)
I'll wait till the video is released to decide though, seems unlikely cops would shoot somebody while they were on the phone and leaning on the gun but if so then that was clearly very wrong.
