Don't be to surprised if the news report doesn't tell the whole story. It sounds like a bunch of the neighbors were armed and ready to rumble.

For instance, if the investigating officers found that she had a gun, they may also have had reason to believe that she pointed it at him or shot at him first. (Just speculation by me). If that was the case they may be expecting to drop charges.

It wouldn't be first time that reporting is incomplete or inaccurate.
