Personally, I think it probably went down more or less as reported. Namely that he was killed in the firefight. Probably not on purpose.
I know a little bit about close-in operations like this one must have been and, well, it's hard to keep a guy alive who is (1) shooting at you and (2) would rather die than be captured. Hell, it's hard enough extracting hostages alive and they want to live.
