There is a reason we use helicopters in modern warfare. Taking them down is very hard. If they did get shot at, they'd have a reason to attack back, but they had no reason whatsoever to attack those people. They thought they saw guns, and decided to go with a "shoot first, ask questions later" wild west approach.
