4. of course

it does.

they were fleeing in a car and were terrorists. It's not like they were just caught at a checkpoint.

if they got away, they would have killed innocent people.

You kill them, and don't worry about whether otr not they had weapons.

Terrorists do not get any benefit of the doubt.
