After the GS said something they robber could have started turning, paused for a second taking note of the new person with the gun pointed at them, and then continued turning and swinging the arms with the gun to point towards the GS.It's also possible that after the GS said something that the robber started to turn and recognized the threat that was pointed at them and would have put the gun down, but within say 5-10 seconds the concern is not if the perpetrator will lower their weapon but if someone is going to get shot by them. By drawing the attention of the robber it caused them to move the gun away from a potential victim, but it did not guarantee that the gun would then not be pointed at the GS.</blockquote>
