I was in the officer involved in the shooting. You and your friends were in on it and know full well that you were all breaking the law. We were dealing with an event, and it seems that unfortunately you and the people who were PK'd weren't invovled from that bank robbery event.
We decided to chase yall because of the heighten and intense situation. It was a really bad timing. Still, it doesnt excuse you and your friends actions. If one person starts to instigate a violent confrontation, then I understand we are going to use reasonable force. That alone lead to your PK. You chose to be in that scenario.
There would be many other options were you could have surrender, by placing your hands up in the air. As I approached closer, you're intentions were clear that you and your friends wanted to escape being captured instead of being cornered and subdued.
Lowkey, yall fought valiantly, and lost.
Deciding to shoot and kill an Officer to escape arrest is a calculated risk you take, where the penalty for failure is death.
If an Officer shoots your faction member/friend, while it may be within server rules for you to defend them if you choose to do so and are killed you are still PK'ed. It's an in character choice and consequence you risk when deciding to engage police.
I will provide my point of view of this situation. It is up to UA to decide if your PK is valid.

I recommend watching the video slower like at .50 speed.
