New Jeresy incident above.

Was she in any real danger? No.

Will she be charged with a crime? Unlikely.
Will she be convicted of a crime? Chances are nil.
Will she be sued by the children and grand children for wrongful death? Maybe.
Will the cost of a wrongful death defense be pricey. Yes.
Will some of her friends, acquaintances, neighbors and co-workers forever look at her through the lens of having shot a man do death? Probably.
Will she forever regret and have a lifetime of nightmares over this killing? Maybe...

That's a lot of possible blowback for never being in any danger.
