The kids should be in jail for that.
She was apparently hit in the initial throwing, when a brick came through the window, according to a neighbor. The article doesn't mention that the neighbor actually witnessed this, nor does it say she was hit in the chest. Then the cops were called. The boys ran off. Cops left, boys came back. This is probably hours later, she's not still in the process of defending herself. It is not clear that they were coming back and throwing rocks at her again. You're relying on third-hand information and then you're filling in some blanks all on your own.
Setting a garbage can on fire is not attempting to burn someone alive.
These kids are little ****s and they should stay in jail until they're 18, but it's not clear that the lady was in immediate danger when she fired the shots.
Actually, you need to go back to some of the earlier posted links. She states that she was hit in the chest by a brick after the police had left, and the boys had come back, in one of the earlier given links. And the boy who got shot admitted to the guy who helped him that the boys had been throwing something (he said "rocks", but everyone else says bricks) just before she brought out the gun.
