I get what you're saying, but you have to remember that we're looking at this with the benefit of hindsight, and more importantly the benefit of not actually being in the situation. Hypothetically it's easy to say that you could have taken a different, less lethal, route, but in the moment that's not the case.
The only thing that really bothers me about the whole thing is the apparent ease she had with doing the whole reenactment. I'd like to think that if I just gunned someone down at point blank range, justified or not, I'd have a bit of trouble picking up a gun and pretending to do it again for the benefit of a news story. That was a little bit creepy.
