The question is "Why" the shots were fired and IMO IF the kid was on their property playing badass with his toy gun, he shares in the why.
In my opinion, if she was that scared before the shooting, I find it hard to believe that she would be that calm after the shooting when a threat could still be out there. If you shoot a threat in the foot, he’s still a treat. Unless he isn’t. Then by all means, police up your brass. (I’m getting ready to go to the range today and I don’t even need to police up my brass there.)
I posted a link earlier that included a media brief by the prosecutor (IIRC) that included a diagram of the scene. I think it was based upon video evidence. (Almost everyone in my neighborhood, at least, has a Ring video camera.) Again, IIRC, the briefing indicated the kid was in his own yard. I don’t know the strength of the evidence, though. (Like are there gaps in the surveillance when he could have been out of view, etc.)
