For all he knew the thief could have had a partner/lookout, he could have been armed and a better shot than him; there could have been a whole range of factors not in his favour.

Handguns are notoriously inaccurate in the hands of amateurs at the best of times; and under stressful situations even more so.
I can still picture that video of the guy trying to shoot another guy outside a courthouse -- they were literally within touching distance with a 2 inch tree between them -- the one guy must have fired six or eight shots and the other guy was still standing.
