What we're saying is that it's a very sad incident that a man lost his life and that another man was put in a position where he had to take another's life. There are no winners in this situation.

Well said. If any is going to pay for it, it will be the marshalls who shot the man. They have to live with the choice they made in the face of the awful dilemma put in front of them. I don't think any marshall, not matter how well trained, could not feel guilty (emotionally, not rationally) for shooting a person not in their right mind.
