Question not being asked: Why was his gun drawn? [View all]

I’ve watched the video dozens of times now. And I’m still trying to figure out why no one else is asking the question: Why was his gun even drawn in that situation? He was able to fire so quickly because his gun was already drawn before she even moved forward. Why? It seems like a total overreaction to what was happening at that moment prior to him firing. That alone cannot have been proper police procedure.
