A 14-year-old kid will kill you just as quickly as a 20-something, if not quicker. Although most kids I've taught are great, every so often I get a sociopath.

Very true. My mother was murdered by a 16 year-old. I'd also say that because of a lack of history of thinking things through, someone younger is more likely to panic and do something very stupid if they feel trapped. Teenagers are also much more likely to perceive themselves as invincible and try to take on someone with a weapon.
