She acted stupidly, and is toast. She was not in fear of her life. If she can’t control herself better than that, she shouldn’t carry.
Unless the vehicle was aiming toward her, she might be toast. Prosecutorial discretion may save her, but in ND, the shooter would be in a pickle.
In general the standard is one of in danger of 'severe injury or death'.
Even the police would have trouble justifying shooting at a fleeing suspect in a property crime.
Burkas and PMS.
Obviously, she never had any training.
I just bought my first gun. I’ve had two lessons with a guy who is an Active Ranger. Learned a lot. Took me six weeks to get my license because the background check found some obscure arrest made of me when I was in college fifty years ago, when I was involved in some barroom fight where they hauled us all in... but all charges were dropped.
I would be in favor of all gun owners going through a certified course. If they have never shot a gun before.

Unloading on a fleeing shoplifters automobile! She’s seen too many movies. Now she will be paying out thousands to lawyers. So both Home Depot and she will take a loss.
A real shame she got so caught up in the drama.
Right. She’s toast.
Yep, she’s going to be fried, stupid thing to do.
