Or it was a TV that said "stick 'em up!" or something like that so he did, and then he realized it was a TV.

He had a guilty conscience and thought the police were after him. The TV was behind him and a cop show was on. One of the cops said "you're under arest put your hands up" and so the man did. When he turned around he realised it was just a TV and laughed at his stupidity.

This is a long shot but I'm going to guess anyway,
There were magnets in his hands, his hands were slowly raised by the force of some magnets on the ceiling he didn't know what was going on and got worried. When he turned around his hands were released, no longer worried he laughed and left the room.

He was wanted Dead or Alive, and shot him dead because he was dangerous, and not to be messed with alive.

Although who knows why a wanted criminal would walk into a bar...

Did the barman mistakenly think he knew the guy? If so, was it someone who very closely resembled the guy he thought it was, like his twin or something?

Scenario: the barman's sister gets killed by someone, and the barman sees the murderer running away... a week later, the murdere's twin walks into the barman's bar, and the bartender thinks "there's the guy who killed my sister!" and goes vigilante on him.

He didn't put the fire out, he accidentally lit the entire place on fire...which caused a nuclear explosion that killed 90 people, due to the nuke in the basement.

He wouldn't give us a question with less than 100% facts

Perhaps he murdered 90 people, without them seeing or hearing him?
