They had SWAT too, doesn't SWAT have sharpshooter? Especially ones that could've shot him in the leg and thus, immobilize him?

Not every SWAT team has a marksman, and not every call to SWAT teams requires the marksman be present. Unlike what movies show us, most of what SWAT does is help evacuate the nearby areas and make sure that there as few civilian casualties as possible. When they ARE used, they're normally for building penetration. In the case that the suspect comes outside, they're really no more than high-quality (well-trained) police officers.
