So shooting a police officer and shooting at police would not provoke a lethal response from Police?
That they did not drop their weapon and approach officers unarmed for arrest and processing not convince officers that lethal response was/is still the optimal way to resolve the situation?
In any case if they voluntarily decided to remain in a burning building where it is most likely they would either burn to death or succumb to smoke inhalation, it would still count as suicide. And last I recall they don't publish the names of those who jump in front of trains, or hang themselves to prevent copycats.
