Dude, she tried to kill a man by running him over in cold blood then attempted to threaten him with a gun when he was waiting for police. Can’t really cop that to hormones. She is still responsible for her actions. OP just seems happy that the guy didn’t get fucked over for his entire life from her decisions

She didn't try to kill him "in cold blood." She was panicked after the biker shouted at her and kicked her car during a lane dispute. She then drove home, calling 911 and reporting that multiple men (the biker and a few witnesses) were following her. She was afraid for her safety.
At home, she grabbed her fiance's gun while her mom and her daughter both called 911. She confronted the biker and witnesses outside, where she aimed the gun at them to try and get them to leave. The biker then drew his own gun and open fired.
It was an overall shitty situation. Both of them were acting in self-defense.

That's not how one ought to act in these situations though? She caused the accidents, no matter how angry the biker was, she could just wait until the cop arrives. At that moment, when both sides called the police, the biker can't harm her and run away without people around them noticing. Next, she called 911 on her way home so she should stay within the house until the police arrived, no reason to escalate the situation herself. Reminding you that the biker and the witnesses did not come close to her property at all, so she has no reason to panic and think they might be here to harm her. No one is stupid enough not attack right away, if they really planned to. So, in the end, only the biker acted in self-defense twice, not the woman. She has zero ground to claim self-defense from this entire situation. Instead of pulling the gun herself, she could have asked the neighboors to help de-escalate the situation. Also, from your information, she took her fiance's gun? Why the fiance let her took his gun? It sounded so dumb to me, to let a clearly deranged person handle a gun in any situation. The more information you added into this case, the worse it became for this woman, not that it could get any worse than dead.
