If she intended to kill this guy then yes,it could be seen as being among the worst.But if she did,*in fact*,accidentally enter the wrong apartment and then panicked when she found an "intruder" in the apartment then this isn't much different than a guy getting drunk,starting his car and killing a pedestrian.
Meaning yes,she should do time...quite a bit of time.But this probably isn't true "first degree murder"...or anything substantially similar.

Bullshit. If this cop entered your house and shot your child, would you feel the same? She should hang.

Hang on,
You mean we now have accidental breaking and entering?

Unless there's some proof she already knew the victim in which case 1st degree murder is a possibility, it's still 2nd degree murder, NOT manslaughter. You can bet your bottom dollar that if she wasn't a police officer they'd have charged her with 2nd degree murder because it fits the definition to a 'T'.
Scond-degree murder is ordinarily defined as: 1) an intentional killing that is not premeditated or planned, nor committed in a reasonable "heat of passion"; or 2) a killing caused by dangerous conduct and the offender's obvious lack of concern for human life.
Note : as a trained police officer she can't claim "heat of passion" unless there is some sort of relationship, prior or ongoing, to the victim that we don't yet know about.
