-- Please point out a law that prohibited the use of deadly force in this situation, when the perp had already used deadly force on the officers and continued to shoot at them. --

Of course resort to deadly force can be justified. That is, there is no per se prohibition on the use of deadly force. The laws that pertain to deadly force describe the circumstances that justify its use. Outside of warfare, I know of no law, either statutory, common law decision, or restatement, that justifies government resort to arson as the means of deadly force.

Really.

Please show laws that proscribe the manner of deadly force (gun, nightstick, etc.)

You are raising an absurd standard.
