Also, as you have previously pointed out, this guy had already shot at several people, including police.  Additionally, they gave this guy hours upon hours to negotiate or surrender, all of which he refused to do.  Given all these circumstances it could have been as simple as take the shot if you have it, given that this guy had already proven himself more than willing to murder people and his still being armed.  That he was a danger to the lives of anyone in that building had already been demonstrated beyond any doubt.

If 2 snipers took the shot, then the chances are great they were ordered to do so by a superior who acted as a spotter on the ground. These snipers unlikely had field of vision to make the call when keeping the crosshairs on the attempted murderer. If he made an act of further aggression, the call was justifiably made.
