They were all committing a felony. Mowing them all down would not have been justified.

As I noted in the above post, after seeing a better video of what occurred, I think the shooting was likely justified. That she was committing a felony is not justification. (She was part of a mob trying to break down the doors to an area of the building where members of Congress were sheltering. She was the first one through. The advance had to be stopped at that point. It was stopped.)
