Age-old Arab battle trick to dress up in look-alike uniforms. Constantly used in Iraq and more recently in Afghanistan. (One of the reasons that the Geneva Conventions do not apply to the Taliban, Al Qaida and supporting 'fighters'.)

As a result, folks start to get trigger-happy and incidents like this can occur. The word must have gone out recently 'Don't trust anyone in uniform.'

Sorry to hear about this, though. Hope everyone can understand both sides, work through this, and tighten up procedures if necessary.
