MrSelfDestruct youre mostly right, but there are certain problems with this case.
The Car passed 2 or 3 checkpoints before without a problem, they were not speeding (according to the rescued hostage), they were shot by a patrol not at a checkpoint.
It sounds like the soldiers were overly nervous (quite understandably) and overreacted.
