I think thats debatable. I think Kings story ends it another way but he's said before he wish he would have ended it like the movie. I see it as a tradegy. I think if they had stayed in the store they would have been rescued.

They couldnt stay in the store because the religious zealot had whipped the people there into righteous, fearful bloodlust and was about to have the boy sacrificed.

While they did shoot her there was no guarantee the mob, previously ready to sacrifice a child, wouldnt have had someone else step up to direct them or wouldnt retaliate for killing their prophet.

Thats part of why I dislike the movie ending as it takes the focus off of movie showing the ease in which a group can degrade with dire circumstances.
