As far as why no attempt to take him alive...according to reports they DID - he was given the option to surrender and be taken in to custody and he refused.
Now...how he refused, what the circumstances were...that's what I want to know. Was he holding a gun (unlikely) or did he make a move like he had a suicide belt on or the like? Or did he just say "No" when told to lie down and freeze?
Frankly, I don't care. Also, I don't think he'd give ANY information up.
