No, when my gun comes out, I am trying to stop the threat. Guy dies or lives, dont care as long as he stops what he is doing.

Agreed. Neither I nor any LE trained personnel I know were trained to "shoot to kill". It was always - "shoot until the stimulus tell us to stop"... i.e. the threat has ended.
Granted, death may be the result of that action...but it is NOT the intended purpose.
