I think it's terrible that it happened and knowing nothing beyond the circumstances described in that story, 9 years for a non-premeditated murder by a 14 year old seems fair. If instead multiple people were murdered, the defendant produced his own video announcing his plan to kill others, then stiffer charges and penalties would probably be called for. And no to your other two questions.

I don't think that stabbing, nor the shooting in Texas which wounded four people is at all comparable to the severity and premeditation of the kid on Michigan.
