Gah I feel so sorry for Xander. Going there with the gun could be considered premeditated but when he finally got there I don't think he could have done it if Warren hadn't pushed and pushed. Threatening Dawnie was akin to threatening Bonnie both young, both vulnerable, both much loved in a brotherly or parental way. The final shot was an act of pure emotion almost with out thought. I feel so sorry for the Xander really in Sunnydale his options are so limited, how do you go to the police and explain Warren they would only laugh at you until it was too late
