They tried to get him to surrender for hours and he refused because he wanted to go out in a blaze of glory, shooting it out with the SWAT guys who were going to get sent in to take him.

As long as he was not going anyplace couldn't they just wait him out unless he tried to leave

I would have preferred he be taken alive and grilled as to possible links to others etc

I would prefer that he had been dragged naked through the most cactus-covered part of the Texas hill country by a team of horses, and then asked politely if he'd like to answer your questions, or do it again, so I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.

You can't reason with people who want to kill you, but you can sure as hell can kill 'em back. He deserved killing.
