She had exited her car

"Initially they were saying that she had exited her car when she was shot."

Increasingly, this sounds to me like a case of angry cops syndrome. After she got away from them, they got mad. Members of some cop tribes go steroid-psycho if their fellows are threatened or hurt, or their authority resisted. *cough* Waco *cough*
