How much of an aggressor was this woman, that she needed to be shot 5 times?

I'm not going to wade into the discussion, but the content is not as clear as the headline.
The woman was indicted for manslaughter after being shot! Who the hell is threatened by a pregnant woman to the point they pull out their gatt and put five rounds into her??? Unless she was brandishing a weapon herself, this is insane. If she did have a weapon, she would have been charged with aggravated assault as well, so this seems really messed up.

I agree, this speaks more to American gun culture and gun laws than anything, but a woman being charged with manslaughter because she had a miscarriage after being shot FIVE times in the abdomen is criminal in itself. The United States is going to depths no one ever envisioned.
