They couldn't have tazed him? He had garden shears, not a firearm.
Just a procedural pondering. The guy was out of control, so it was likely a righteous shoot. But I thought tazers were supposed to be the weapon of choice for situations that didn't involve a perp having a firearm.

Apparently they tried, but were unsuccessful. From the article:
“This is just crazy stuff, OK? You know that it’s got to be true – you can’t make it up,” said [Sheriff Gary] Judd, who added that his officers had twice tried to subdue the suspect with a stun gun.

It’s not unusual for tasers to be ineffective on people who are high on meth.
He was also inside a patrol car, potentially with access to the rifle officers often carry between the front seats. And the patrol car itself could become a weapon if he got in the drivers seat and took off. That has happened more times than one might think.
