He apparently killed himself, so the cops weren't needed to do the job. With spree killers like him you cannot afford to take the chance to disarm or wound him, they have to be taken out before they can do anymore harm. If there was a way to incapacitate him without killing him then it could be tried first, but generally its to difficult and not worth the higher body count. Most of these type want to die anyway, but they want to as many people with them as they can.

If this was the case - totally justified. What are the alternatives? stand back and wait until the massacre of innocents is over?
Zero tolerance should be exercised on psychopathic murderers. Once answerer has said that he may have been mentally unstable and - so what - a lifetime in jail is going to cure that and make him less unstable? Wake up bleeding hearts.

Ummmm... yes. yup, how about absolutely.
Carry a gun and point it at anyone and if an officer feels his/her safety is in jeopardy or the public's life is in jeopardy then that's about all they need to shoot that person dead.
(Police aim for the center of mass) ( Usually center chest ) Police special tactical teams - specialty trained units go for mass or head shots.
No real chance of surviving generally.

if the police believe that the use of lethal force will prevent further bloodshed,and usually there are many situation control personal on hand,then I too would fell inclined to believe that it was justified,and of course God Knows Best!

I agree. Why should his life be spared if he was trying to kill others..
He fired 20 shots, that could have been 20 dead teenagers,
He deserved to be shot & killed.
This should set an example for everyone, You have no right to kill someone, if you do, you have to face the music.

I think he killed himself, but if the police did it just ask the students that were being shot at.
