Here is the part the DA will ream her ass over.
She had a rifle. She shot numerous times through the wall, ending up striking the male.
Technically, shooting through a wall, unsure of the target’s exact location can be viewed as a “reckless discharge” and “aggravated endangerment of the public at large” for those of you who never had to justify a shoot. That’s the legal problem here. Lawyer up time here.

Can't tell half these idiots anything. She should have lawyered up BEFORE she ever talked to the police. If she didn't call 911 BEFORE she shot this guy, she damn sure should have called a lawyer before she called 911 to let them know she shot him or at least right after. Hell, she should have got her gun, called 911, warned him that she had a gun and already called 911 and THEN told him that he should leave her property or she would shoot for fear of her life. These morans don't understand gun laws. Good luck to them on staying out of prison.

Now this advice ^^ is spot on. Though, if she feared for her life - and I mean terror - then she's likely not thinking about legal protection. She's in innate survival mode reacting to, and protecting herself from, imminent danger.

In Texas, you better have a good attorney for this defense which is a valid one. Someone triggered into fight mode is not thinking of gun laws and is operating from a primal place BUT I can tell you personally, and I'm in Texas, you better have a good fucking lawyer for this defense. Court appointed will not do. My niece is about to max out on 6 for defending herself from a guy who was habitually drugging and trafficking her. She was NAKED chasing him down the street with a machete and had already done damage to him. Any DA would have said she had a duty to retreat. It would have taken a good lawyer to argue the physiological fight response.
