The rock thrower being gunned down is a guaranteed loser in PR terms. Ask the Israelis.
Humans have been killing each other and animals with rocks for hundreds of thousands of years. You don't become the apex predator while being physically puny compared to many the predators and prey unless you master the rock.
Rocking throwing is the preferred method of execution in many countries.
Rare? Ridiculous.

Castle doctrine states that there is no duty to retreat when attacked in ones home and instead the victim has a right to deadly force on the attacker. The CBP has no duty to retreat when patrolling the border.
The rock throwers got what they deserved.
