You mean the guy that first opened the elevator door without backups?
He needs to shoot Marty first and they were too close for him to take the shot without risking the girl moving into the way.
Because they had to die in a certain order.
Let's be bad guys.
You'd think with the fate of the world at stake, they might send more than one lone schmuck, who freaks out when a hand touches his leg.
Taze em both, and shoot the stoner.
That's my motto.
You are not being specific. Yes, shooting them both is the answer but it is the order in which they are shot/killed that is important; clarify your issue with the plot, i.e. "Why didn't the military guy shoot Marty immediately when the elevator opened?" Obviously there are several answers to that specific question but my point is to be specific when you critique a plot; don't generalize. That is a sloppy and uneducated way of finding a fault in a piece of art.
