If a private citizen shot her in self defense would the ADA also apply?

If a mentally ill person was going to shoot up a school full of children would a cop have to base his response on the ADA?

If this incident took place in any other jurisdiction than the Ninth Circuit would this case have to go to the Supreme Court?

None of the the circumstances listed above in the previous comments happened, but, something did happen. Cops busted into a home for crazy people without a warrant and shot someone they knew was disabled. Had they calmly walked in and asked one of the workers to bring her to them there would likely have been no incident. Had they bean bagged her there would have likely been nothing more heard of it. If they had tazed her we would have likely never heard of it.

I am sick and tired of cops shooting people when they have alternatives. We have cops, we have judges, we have juries and we have executioners, why do cops so often have to be all four.

But, the issue here is that the police broke into her home, knew she had mental issues, and didn't prepare for that possibility. The cops didn't shoot her in self-defense. She was defending herself when they (the aggresors) shot her. You're only looking at one small detail, not the full picture.
