If he expected to die he would have, getting his wish either by the Cops or by his own hand.
Then again, I’m just a nit picker and not a mind reader like you so what do I know? #;^)
Okay, I'll play that nit. He expected to be killed. "Expected to die" does NOT preclude expecting to be killed. Anyone who plans and carries out such a shooting expects to die be killed. Any other expectation is absurd.
