All homicides should be investigated to determine if they were justified or not. In this case the woman claims that she was assaulted, was able to access her defensive firearm, and then shot the offender. If the investigation shows that she did not know the offender, the shooting is likely justified. From kctv5.com:
Just because the attacker was leaving the room is does not mean that he was not prepared and willing to continue the attack. A common pattern that is seen in defensive shootings is that the attacker becomes distracted or complacent, allowing the victim to fight back effectively.
According to police, a woman in her 60s answered a knock at her door and a man who she didn't know asked for someone the woman had never heard of. When she told him he had the wrong house, the man reportedly forced his way inside.
Once inside, the woman told police the man sexually assaulted her.
After the attack, police said the woman claimed the man started to leave the room and she was able to get a hold of a gun she had and shoot the intruder.
Forte said this is the 94th homicide in Kansas City this year. He also said a handgun was used in 81 of those homicides.What is the purpose of such an observation, especially one that lumps in all homicides, justifiable and unjustifiable together? It appears designed to make the guns somehow responsible for the homicides. This is a manifestation of the discredited "Progressive elite" model of modern homicide, where most people (aside from the progressive elite and state agents), are considered to be murderers in waiting, needing only an easily available weapon to complete the equation. In fact, the vast majority of murders are committed by a small minority of people with long histories of violent behaviour.

He may be waiting for Government Motors stock to pick itself up by the boot straps and recover enough value that it can be sold at only a terrible rather than catastrophic loss.
Next step is to say that it was the 19th case of death by someone who raped/attempted top rape someone and that female genitalia were involved in all the cases.
