Liberal anti-gun loons have pounded into some people's brains that there must be a better way to defend yourself from an attacker when you have a gun than shooting him, such as only shooting him in the arm or leg, or firing 'warning' shots. After all, that must be more humane than killing the poor fellow who is really innocent and oppressed by society. Those of us with a brain know that is b.s. and will only get you killed, sued, or sent to prison like this woman. She was not properly trained on use of her firearm or on the legalities and responsibilities of discharging that weapon and the consequences.
Had a security guard in VA Beach fire a weapon into the air chasing a fleeing robber at the oceanfront back in the 80's. Bullet landed in a sunbather on the beach a few blocks away. Your are responsible for where your bullets land. The woman in this 20 year sentence story should have either shot the guy...or not fired.
