Agreed.
Situations I'd have considered justifiable:
a.) Shoot him as/while he was threatening her
b.) Told him to "Stop or I'll shoot", maybe fire a warning shot and then shoot him aiming for non vital parts (but hitting him lethally).
If she really went up to the car and shot him straight in the face from point blank range she could get away with manslaughter (in terms of Austrian law, I'm not quite sure about the US definition).
Only excuse I can think of is that she (correctly or not) thought the thief was drawing a weapon.
