Austin Rollins, 17, shot himself in the head when he was confronted by school resource officer Blaine Gaskill

Irrelevant. Had Mr. Gaskill not confronted Rollins, the shooting would most likely have continued.

It’s a double win. The officer will not have the guilt of having shot a kid no matter how badly he needed to be put down and the kid will not get into Heaven because he offed himself.

Exactly right. A good-guy with a gun doesn't necessarily have to actually shoot the bad-guy to stop him. Often times, just showing up and presenting the willingness and capability to use deadly force is enough to end it.
