Agree, she most likely fired on him almost immediately.

The apartment doors automatically lock when closed.

That's why I said I believe the door was closed not ajar initially. It was probably unlocked and she bumped it open and calling that "ajar".

I know what some are trying to do, claim she knew it wasn't her apartment and made up the whole story. I don't think that's true.

If something was obstructing it, it could have been ajar. It doesn't even have to be all that obvious. A twig that stuck to a shoe, but fell when he entered his apartment could be caught on the edge of the door and prevent it from closing all the way. I'm not saying that this is what happened, just that doors that are supposed to shut automatically don't always shut completely. And a person might not notice if it was a small obstruction.

Shadow shooting.

That should be illegal.

It would seem one should always have some idea of what they're shooting at, or otherwise have their pistol taken away from them.

I read that a resident said the doors do not automatically lock.

Or, as in 12 Angry Men, they will have to "separate the facts from the fancy." Sorry, couldn't resist that. 12 Angry Men is fave movie, and I've just watched it for the 1000th time lol.

Many residents told NBC 5 they chose to live at the complex because they believed it was safe. They said keyfobs are needed to access each floor, but that doors do not automatically lock when closed.
You could've searched for it yourself.
