Muslim scholars agree that Killing a Dhimmi or a Non-Muslim is HARAM (unless you're at war with them) it is one of the biggest sins BUT they said that if this does happen the punishment for the Muslim is not death as the Hadiths state:

"لا يُقتل مسلم بكافر" &
"ألا لا يُقتل مؤمن بكافر ولا ذو عهد في عهده" another group of scholars however disagreed and said that If a Muslim kills a Dhimmi then he must be killed because they explained the word Kaffir in the Hadith as a Kaffir Harbi, meaning a Kaffir who you are at war with But a Kaffir from ahlul-Dhimmah has a different ruling. The Ottoman Caliphate followed this opinion.
