Here are additional reports from the scene of the crime from a commenter that fill in some of the blanks left by the HC article:

“I happened to drive by the scene earlier, i can answer a few questions that i have seen posted on here.. She shot once through her rolled up window, There were markers next to the car showing what to appeared be 3 more Shell casings. The man was white, he was lying about 30’ from the car. She was not blocked in, the mans truck was parked a good distance from where her car was parked. No visible damage on either vehicle. It appears there was one shot from inside the vehicle, 3 more from outside the vehicle. Seems fishy to me.”
There may have been only three shots total — the shell casing from the first shot from within the car shell falling out when she got out of it. The body being 30 feet away is apparently approximately correct — another website has it at 35 feet.
If this evidence is correct then there is a lot more to the story than just “she grabbed the gun and shot him” — a lot more.
IMHO, the shooting as described by her (from Attorney and Pastor) are not correct. Embelished? The shooting as described by Jonathan? Dead men tell no tales. They both played the road rage game and one lost big time. Again, I wonder if she didn’t have access too her CCL (while she was road rage angry), what would have been the outcome? Both arrested for disturbance? Assault? Tickets? They both would have been alive surely. If she was on the phone with 911 as it transpired (as Pastor said) why did she reach for her weapon so quickly?
If I had a CCL, I wouldn’t hesitate at all to save my family. This situation, at this time of day, where it happened, why it happened? So many questions that can’t be answered.
