Neutralize II

There has been an update on today's Word That Should be Banned: Neutralize.

Montreal police now say that the Dawson shooter died from self-inflicted wounds after being shot in the arm by police.

This enlightens us somewhat to the details of this shooting, but is neutralize the correct word for shooting a gunman in the arm just before the said gunman shoots himself in the head?

No, at least not this this typist's dictionary.
