Probably because the official got confused and thought that he had to award 2 FTs for being fouled in the act of shooting and another two FTs for the foul being an intentional personal foul. That's incorrect thinking, but I've seen it happen with inexperienced officials.

Bonus FTs are only awarded for common fouls. Neither an intentional personal or a technical foul are common fouls. Therefore, the bonus FT rules don't apply.
