Why Americans shoot the Italian officer and then let the survivors go?

Americans shoot an Italian in Iraq. The American government promised to clarify everything. But the American troops have said what they think already: they didn't know that Giuliana Sgrena had been liberated and they acted as requested by procedure.

There is one question that nobody has tried to answer. Why, after shooting some 350 times against the car that was bringing Giuliana to the airport, they stopped and let it go? Did somebody tell them they were making a mistake? Did somebody know?

If somebody knew, why they didn't tell it the patrol before they shoot?
