I think so.

What I do in my shutdown RC scripts is to

 1. "squid -k check 2>/dev/null", to see if Squid is at all running.

 2. If running, then "squid -k shutdown".

 3. Loop for a limited period of time (i.e. some minutes) over "squid -k
check 2>/dev/null".

 4. If "squid -k check" still says Squid is running, "squid -k kill" as
something probably has gone very wrong..

1 is entirely optional, just there to silence things a bit when Squid is
not running.
