Shit happens,
If you expect soldiers to wait until they are 100% zero-defect certain they will be killed long-before the results are in.
Nobody intentionally kills civilians, but it happens.
Also, when a fight kicks off one of the discriminating factors is whether people are maneuvering towards the fight or away from it. These things are not quiet, and no sensible person will run towards one unless they intend to be involved in some form or fashion. After being friendly is ruled out and barring any additional information that leaves bad-guys. Unfortunately the reporters were displaying the same pattern of behavior that would be expected of an insurgent.
