Kids with guns are dangerous -- they're full of rampaging hormones, they like to rebel against authority, and they think they're invincible. Knowing that, how else was the stand-off supposed to end?
The only way to have prevented this was not for the cops to have done something different, but for the kid's parents to have kept the gun locked up away from him in the first place. Policing is not a substitute for parenting!
