But it's still not murder. And no, I don't think you could win that law suit. On what grounds?

Also it's a fireable offense because of the risk to the employee not to the risk of the thief.

Whether it's murder or not is up to the prosecution to prove, which apparently they did.

How is there more risk to the employee outside the store than inside the store?

Another note, those police officers not only broke policy and protocol, but lied about it in the ensuing investigation.

It's not like they made a little mistake in the heat of the moment and someone got hurt. Someone died. And they lied about the events leading to his death. Obstruction of justice is a big deal.
