The police reports in the screenshot do not indicate that the police verified these claims. Rather, they suggest that they took the word of the security personnel from Tesla.
It’s perfectly fine for the police to presume that information given is accurate until proven otherwise! However, it was false information. The police confirmed that the suspect wasn’t armed.
The most charitable reading here is just that the Tesla employees were mistaken, but nothing here says that Tesla presented evidence; so it’s not exculpatory.
