Yes, armed vs unarmed were different, question is in what direction. IOW were those armed more likely to be killed than the unarmed?
For armed "shootees", killed/not-killed == 2.43, whereas unarmed == 1.85.
Looking at it the other way, for those killed, ratio of armed/unarmed was 3.45, but only 2.63 for shooting survivors.
Since the categorical data was shown to differ significantly, the difference ratios are also significant. We can conclude one is more likely to be shot dead if armed when confronted by police.
