So, their story is that they were already stopped by this blockade of 10 cars, and then this woman tried to ram their parked vehicles with her car, which would probably legally be deadly force on her part, justifying them in using their own deadly force and shooting her, and then they left. Also, she tried to kill them with her car while having access to a firearm.

... That is a version of events.
