The sad part is

"Homicide detectives plan to meet with state prosecutors today to
determine whether the shooting was a justifiable homicide."

I suppose it would be clearly justifiable if the carjacker shot the
woman in the head, but maybe not. 8^(

We've had one of those up here in Philly where the carjacker just shot
the car owner anyway, after getting the car. Same as with some muggings,
if you don't have enough cash to satisfy the mugger.

Matt might be spot on about the genetic defect part.
