The only gun related argument is that it was easier for him to (allegedly) kill her. There is no need to get your hands dirty, and there was no chance that she could have survived. Using a brick, baseball bat, or knife would have been harder for an 11 year old to use.
But to get back to the original question, what should have these adults done differently to prevent him from wanting to kill her in the first place?
I'm not sure I would be so quick to lock him up and throw away the key for the rest of his life. I would guess that there are plenty of kids who might want to do this if put into this family situation, so part of it is just bad luck. But there is a long list of other things it could be as well.
