Why did Wesley Gibson's father take this action?

You can say all the other times he was trying to shoot others from the fraternity But in the scene where Wesley accidentally shoots the German guy his father shoots him? Can someone explain why?
Best Answer
It's true, he shot him but he wasn't trying to kill him.
He deliberately shot him in the arm (which everyone knows that it is a safe place to shoot somebody without killing him) with a traceable bullet (Wesley's father always killed his targets with untraceable bullets) so as to lure him to the train so he could get Wesley away from them and tell him the truth.

Why was Wesley Gibson's (James McAvoy) father trying to shoot him?
He wasn't.
If you refer back you see that every time Wesley's father shoots even remotely close to being at Wesley it's in response to being shot at by Wesley.
...And, in every case, Wesley's father's bullet stops Wesley' bullet... it happens three times....that's not a coincidence.
