As long as you don't shoot the intruder in the back, the Castle Doctrine is king. Though some states have a 'duty to retreat' clause, meaning you have to try and get away before using lethal force. Other States, the criminals are fair game the minute they break in.
That woman did what was right. And since she was on the phone for at least 21 minutes with the 911 operator, obviously she was on her own. Cops can't teleport to your location instantly, you have to deal with the threat yourself.
