"He was invited to reconsider"

Good evening

~ Mycroft`s men intervened before he could take a shot.
~ He was invited to reconsider

What does the higlighted part of sentence means? It does mean that he is changed his mind?
Regards

There is not enough context to give an exact meaning. It seems like an understatement. They suggested strongly (under threat of death or severe punishment) that he change his mind.
