Apparently the perpetrators fled the scene before the police arrived. So your suggestion wasn't an option in this case.
And when the police do manage to find these people, I can think of a few other things the police might like to try before resorting to killing people.
I disagree, the behavior is often a symptom, so if you were to simply shoot people like you are requesting.. more people would fill the hole. Need to address culture, lack of community etc
