Kids kill all the time. Sorry, but "kids" don't get a break. If they want to act like grown ups and take a lethal aggressive behavior, they will be treated like such. Welcome to responsibility, I know... it is a bit hard for some to accept.

She did, the report says she had the cops out there several times. What? She should wait till she is beaten and raped? I guess having a lethal object thrown at you is not an issue. You from California? They like to have their victims fully submit and beg for mercy from their attackers before even thinking to spout an unkind word.

Likely? There is or there isn't. Get your facts straight and stop shoveling your assumptions.

She called the police, had them reported several times. Catch up, you are falling behind.

When you are being attacked with lethal objects, responding in kind is a bit of a no brainier, but some people think you should die before you offend an attacker, you know... because they are CHILDREN!!! OMG!!!
A nurse on disability - hmm... she must have seen a gun injury or two during her time.
Still went for the firearm instead of option #2, #3... infinity.
Dumb little winch should have just died! I mean... didn't she see they were kids AND OMG not just kids, but BLACK KIDS, who... you know could have been Obama's children?
This is why you people have no respect for firearms.
You don't use a firearm unless you are willing to kill. Why on earth would you use a lethal weapon as a warning? What if you accidentally killed someone in the stupid attempt to "warn them". Look, if you aren't planning to kill someone, you don't point a gun at them and you sure as hell don't fire a stupid warning shot which is the height of irresponsible firearm use.
No wonder you people are so clueless when it comes to the gun issue!
Well then take it up with the shooter, she said she wanted to scare them and fired 5 times.
If she felt threatened then why fire a warning shot like you say.
Can you provide some links to verify these claims?
Since you made them, I think it only reasonable you back up your assertions as to the various "facts" you have presented us.
Thanks!
Sure.

Reading from the incident report from the night of the shooting, Davis said that Cannon told authorities that she was out in her yard with her daughter checking their car's tire pressure when three black males walking on the sidewalk nearby began yelling insults and throwing rocks at them.
Cannon reportedly told deputies that the rocks were hitting her house and flying past her head. She said that she did not have time to run inside, so she just pulled out her gun and started shooting to scare the alleged assailants away.
Cannon said she was at her neighbors home. She saw the teens walking down the street so she delayed going back to her house until they were gone. "My daughter was home alone," she said.
Was she home checking tire pressure at 8pm or at the neighbors house?

A 15-year-old male, Vernon Marcus Jr., was found on the sidewalk, critically wounded, according to a news release from the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office.
The investigator told the judge that Cannon called the Bibb County Sheriff's Office hours before the shooting to report that three black males were throwing rocks at her home three days ago. According to the deputy, Cannon told dispatchers "if they come back in her yard or her area she was going to shoot them," the deputy told the judge.
Deputy statement about call to police. (from above link)
The story between the tire pressure checking and the at a neighbors is different, but not a direct manner to which you could assume a given change of issue. That is, the news is reporting vaguely on the issue, you really can't take issue as your reporting is spotty at best.
Next, can you point to me where SHE said she fired off warning shots? I see a comment by the detective that firing warning shots is never acceptable, but I see no verification or corroboration of such being admitted by the woman.
Past that, really... your objection is kind of weak.
Time will tell, but lets both be honest, like most of these cases, usually the truth comes out and the news fails to follow up because it didn't fit the narrative.
Time will tell, but so far... you are stretching to promote a position.
