Or life. Where I live it is legal to shoot a person who is an active and immediate threat to your property, self, or other persons. Any person walking through the front yard in the daytime while you are inside, not an active threat. An unknown person entering your dwelling through an unlocked open door is an active threat. In the above case of a woman's house she would probably be praised as a hero, or at least a role model, for shooting the intruder.
