PU calls R1 out on the tag. Kills the ball, rules interference, calls R2 out.

Contact initiated by defense to make the tag; contact legal.
Retired runner interferres with defender trying to make a play on another runner. Interference must be intentional.
From your description - not intentional, therefore no interference. Bad call on part of umpire.
