        I suspect that’s because kill is often used as a synonym for murder, and pulling a trigger with the intent and result of ending a person’s life is not necessarily murder, that needs to be proven in court.

        Imo, the denotation of “kill” is actually neutral, but it’s got a pretty rough connotation.
