First, the kid wasn't running away. He was going after Finn. Second, some people, through no fault of their own, are not resilient. That means, it's difficult for them to process trauma and adversity. Finn was one of those people. Thus, he was more susceptible to PTSD. People manifest the condition in different ways. Finn was also flawed, like every human being. The other characters weren't under the same kind of extreme emotional distress of losing someone they were in love with. It's just not that simple to compare him to others. In fact, Finn wasn't the only one who did raise his gun. Look at Jasper. He shot the grounders in the trees because he thought they were about to attack Clarke. That was him over reacting because of PTSD. Under certain conditions, we're all capable of killing.

I suggest you read "Understanding Finn". It will help you get a handle on the character, and understand what caused him to behave the way he did. It's okay not to like what Finn did. But Finn wasn't a bad person. He was just human; and even good human being sometimes do bad things. If we understand the reason, we might be more sympathetic.
