But failed to foresee the approaching gunman.

Or maybe did foresee it, but didn't feel Loke warning anyone...

That would defeat the whole purpose of the staged event (the "shooting"). You want the audience to think it's real, Oz's staged tricks are meant to fool the audience into thinking he's really psychic but they can't give it away they staged the shooting. It's a double edged sword.
