From prima facie evidence, what the Thai police did was right. Singapore police or even US police would have done that too. All confirmed firearmed suspects posing public danger should be shot to death, unless there's open disarming and surrendering offered. This is not extra-judicial execution. This is prudent self-defence and in defence of innocent public around and in the way. Saving a breath in such a case could probably result in his finger pulling the trigger for a last hurrah.

Don't believe in that crap you see in US and HK police TV dramas and movies. There's no such thing as shooting at limbs and stop shooting when the suspects' down. All police in the world are trained to shoot-to-kill at head and body. Firearms are weapons meant to be deadly when drawn and used. When the suspect is equivalently armed and ready to shoot and kill you and your colleagues and anyone else in way, what else do you do? Even commonsense can tell you, make sure he's dead! Once again, I reiterate, this is not rage killing, revenge killing or extra-judicial execution.

Rage killing, revenge killing or extra-judicial execution is when a suspect disarms and surrenders, but police still shoot him. Fallen in a gunfight crossfire is not disarming and surrendering. Any last breath left could turn fatal on police and public.
