I get the feeling that the deceased mom was dressed in uniform when she got out of the car, and that is what got her killed. Otherwise, the perp would have thought he was just dealing with another woman he could verbally push around.
I’ve seen this sort of thing happen on three different occasions to two female security guards and one female deputy. The perps saw the uniforms and immediately thought they were going to jail. Though none of those women were killed, they all three spent some time in the hospital.
I would suggest to all law enforcement that if you’re going to advertise that you’re a peace officer, then be ready to use the gun that goes with it. I’m not saying that’s what happened in this case, but I would bet my nickel on it.
And you just explained why a female customs inspector friend of mine would always put her uniform on at work and change into street clothes before going home. The others all came and went in uniform. She had more awareness of possible issues of being in uniform when not at work I guess.

Zero evidence of such.
