In a stressful position with a shorter pistol like that your effective range drops to feet instead of yards.
It also looks like he was aiming high. He either didn't want to hurt them, or he was trying for a head shot which is tough to do for an inexperienced or stressed shooter.
His stance was all wrong as well, that one handed pistol thing doesn't work real well because your hand eats the recoil. If your going to shoot with a pistol, you want a two handed weaver stance I think its called, it allows you to control the recoil much better.
As far as the chairman, it was clear that he wasn't trained in hostage negotiations. But who is?
