Do you really need 2 fire teams to kill 1 kid as stated in the movie?

That wasn’t his point. He was saying that the ENTIRE operation - namely, killing the DA (and family) AND ALSO killing the forensic accountant (and his kid) - required two teams. The reason being that they could have hit both sets of targets SIMULTANEOUSLY; and, in doing so, avoided tipping off the accountant. He saw the DA’s murder reported on the news and was then able to go on the run.
That would have been avoided had a second team gone after him at the same time as team one was busy killing the DA.

This is true within the story's logic. If, however, the hits were to occur in something more like the real world, maybe they wouldn't go so loud as to blow up a house. If they did blow up the house, then the local news would not so quickly broadcast the names of the victims. If, in this alternative world, names would be broadcast that quickly, they should have used other methods given operational constraints.
