Being happy that someone is dead is kind-of abstract, and it doesn't have to matter how the person died. It's more about the fact that this person's continued presence in society is a burden and a danger for others. Unless vengeance is the issue, imprisonment forever could be just as acceptable a solution to the threat posed by someone like that.
To be happy to shoot another person means that one must have intent to kill another human being, and to do it, spraying blood and tissue everywhere. And then to feel some level of glee about it. Adults who feel this way are more likely to be in the category of those other people wish dead or imprisoned forever. They're the ones who, as children, tear the wings off of insects and torture small animals for fun.

There's a big difference between being happy someone is dead and being happy to shoot another person.
