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.
Depends on some factors though.

First, she may still be in some kind of shock, between these events and the death of her husband, combined with her young age, I wonder just how much she's been able to process the events of the last 3 weeks/6 months.

I think it also depends on how familiar you are with firearms in general.
