You don't know that, she's not a trained cop or combat soldier.

For all she knows she hesitates after saying freeze, he pulls out a gun and dusts her, or makes a move for the baby.

And you don't know if this guy was on crack or crystal or whatever, most criminals aren't exactly rational, they're in for a penny in for a pound.

If he's willing to break into a woman's house with a knife or a gun or a weapon, then he's already made a decision that her life doesn't matter.

She did the exact right thing, she had a baby and she was alone and she didn't take a chance.

His life is sacrifice at that point.
