He wasn’t cuffed yet.

You may want to read the story again and pay a bit more attention to detail.

The family’s lawyer is saying he was handcuffed, the rep for the BART was saying that he wasn’t.

“BART spokesman Jim Allison has said the officer’s gun went off while police were trying to restrain Grant and that Grant was not cuffed. The unidentified officer is on paid leave as BART investigates the shooting.”

said Burris, adding that Grant was handcuffed — after he was shot.

The word is after, not before, although it's not that material to what happened. In all the excitement the shooting was probably a mistake.
