The suspected shooter was simply blown up sans trial. There was no reason they could not have simply waited him out.

So this dude is armed to the teeth, fairly competent with a weapon, has already killed 5 in plain sight of thousands, has verbally professed his desire to kill more, could run out at any time and possibly (unlikely) kill 1 or 2 more before they take him down, and the standoff is shutting down a part of Dallas and probably costing at least several hundred thousand taxpayer dollars an hour.

Ending a deadly, murderous rampage takes moral precedence over due process of the criminal. If you want to live to go through a multi-million dollar years-long trial, you have to surrender.
