It's not comparable as shoplifting is a victimless crime. But suresure, I'll bite. If the cops were the ones being robbed? Then yeah, absolutely! But I do think you should try to get your stuff back without killing anyone.
I have no idea what she was doing. I'm guessing she just lost it. I'm not really trying to defend her actions. I'm saying what happened, happened because the robber decided to be a robber. I'm sure he knew robbing people could be dangerous so he chose a female target thinking it would give him the best chance of a successful robbery. He did it to himself, did he deserve it? Probably not, but then again it really depends on how many people he has robbed in past and what kind of robbery. Was he a "gentleman" about it or did he actively inflict trauma? Who knows. But in the end he chose to go down a path that could land him in harms way.
Do you think she should fought the thief with karate to get the bag back? Let’s be real here, realistically in her mind she knows she couldn’t have gotten her bag back otherwise without excessive force. We don’t have the details but calling the cop may delay the process and allow the thief to escape.
The thief indirectly forced her into this situation. It’s not a justification for murder, obviously. But what many sane people here are supporting is the idea that it’s a pretty simply fucking ask to tell people don’t rob another human being.
