We don't know all the details on this, but the best way is to stay in your house after you called the police. Unfortunately it may be that she felt that she was in danger in the house, so went out the back to try to distance herself from the threat and ran into the officers. Just a bad situation all around.

You are absolutely right, I did "assume" that.

However, as a learning experience it IS a good reason, NOT to fire warning shots. Look what her shots (warning or not) cost her!
I am not sure that her shots were as much of an issue as just the fact she wouldn't put the gun down after being directed to.
