It appears she might have been justified in shooting him. Just something to consider instead of condemning her out of hand.

Your article seems to contradict it's self. In one sentence the author says the window being up or down is a red herring, in another he says she shot when the victim reached inside the car ( insinuating the window was open and that is why she shot). Every close up I have seen of the window shows it clearly closed. Why would she be so scared with all the back up she had?

Assuming the same circumstances, I believe one of us would have been charged before an investigation began. Regardless of the rational as to why she pulled the trigger and killed a victim that was not posing an immediate threat to her life, she violated several rules of handgun handling. First she acquired a target (if she did not intend to fire). Secondly she put her finger inside the trigger guard and on the trigger. Therefore, she must have intended to fire. She is either a very good shot, a very lucky ( or unlucky shot depending on the outcome of the case).
