Thinking about this more, the lawsuit by surviving family members is absurd.
Lets grant them the compensation for their loss, which should generously be placed at $1, since the guy actually has negative value to society.
Now they are open to counter-suit, which is having produced a member of society that is violent and uncontrolled. The value to society to not have such a member is probably several million dollars, if not tens of millions of dollars.
These despicable family members should slink away into darkness if they had any capability of feeling shame. A parent's primary job is to produce well-adjusted and responsible children that are liked by their peers. This is evidence that they failed miserably at the job that was most important for them to be successful at, and which they voluntarily chose when they made the decision to procreate.
If I were a judge, I'd tell the family members it's reprehensible that they created such a terrible person, and that I would graciously allow them to leave the court without further admonishment or punishment.
I don't even like the concept of monetary compensation of "survivors" for the loss of someone. It cheapens the human value and doesn't actually repair the damage because the damage was the loss of an individual, not money.
Likewise there's no end to who would be owed compensation. If I was a very good friend with someone that was murdered, should I be compensated for the pain and suffering, plus the lost moments we would have shared throughout the rest of our natural lives?

Anyway in the case of a true execution, seconds after you watch the guy shoot some family members... for me it's not a big crime, since you would have a fair reason to be in high rage.

...and that's why the benefit of the doubt is given to the Police in the US.
I don't like that anyone was shot, but it's a miracle it was stopped, even if it ended tragically.
