Well we can't know if it was excessive force because we weren't there, and don't know the details of the struggle. If it was a wrestling match, then shooting someone anywhere is prudent.
Now if the guy laid down on the ground with his hands folded over his head, and then got shot, I'd say that was an execution. Anything short of that is just called threat removal.
...and I still have pity for the guy shot. His actions were guided by genetics and environment; neither of which he chose.
