I'm all for people having the right to own guns of any kind, but our country needs to be extremely strict to anyone having possession of one illegally

Texas doesn't require any gun registration in fact only six states and DC do require it.
So the cops wouldn't necessarily know the man was armed beforehand
I also didn't see anything in the story about the gun used being "illegal"

According to the arrest affidavit, Guy admitted to police he shot at ?a number of persons? outside of residence before being taken into custody Friday.

Shooting at somebody from the inside of the residence to the outside makes the "home defense" scenario a bit more problematic.

In Texas, anyone who kills a peace officer who is acting in the lawful discharge of an official duty can be charged with capital murder and could face the death penalty, if convicted.

It sounds to me like State Law is being followed.
