The question for me is, is a couple hundred Dollars of alcohol or groceries worth someone's life? Why not let her go and pursue charges against her rather than executing her in the parking lot?
I have a hard time seeing a 7-months pregnant woman being part of a gang of thieves and running from a store with her arms full of bottles of alcohol.
And if she was part of the gang, you record her license plate and get the security camera pictures and call her in. What the hell are cops being taught?

That's possibly the only part of this that I could understand: some people use the "fake pregnant" or "fake obese" strategy to fit in more stuff under their clothes... so just by seeing someone who "looks like" they're pregnant, you can't "rule out" them being a thief.
Shooting even a confirmed thief, still isn't justified.
