So why does the same article say she had a shotgun?
The article even says it was "presumably" her.
So maybe a different person?
They say the woman’s estranged husband, Bradley Skinner, broke the glass out of a back door of the home to get inside. He had a pistol and large knife in his possession. Lisa has a protection order against Bradley.
Officers say Lisa armed herself with a shotgun then went into the garage. They say he followed her, then aimed his pistol at her. That’s when she fired the shotgun, hitting him in the chest and causing life-threatening injuries.
Police say they arrived on scene after the woman’s mother called 911 to report the home invasion and that officers heard the initial shots. They went to the garage where Lisa came out, still holding the shotgun. Officers commanded her to drop the gun, but they say she turned, pointing the weapon in the officer’s direction instead. The officer shot at her, hitting her in the hip.

No, it wasn't. This is the headline you linked to at "the daily fail"

Ok, you seem to not be getting this.
The article you quoted says she pointed a gun at the police.
Your title implies that she was shot while handcuffed.
Kind of a major discrepancy right?

"Handcuffed homeowner shot after she gunned down homeowner."
I did the same thing.
Pretty easy to promote an agenda, right?

She had multiple restraining orders against her estranged husband, as he had many weapons. She even thought about taking a leave of absence from teaching to protect her students from her estranged husband and feared a murder/suicide scenario.
This is the dramatic moment a homeowner was gunned down and handcuffed by police after she blasted her estranged husband who allegedly broke into her house and tried to kill her.
Lisa Skinner, 52, shot the male home invader, who has now been identified as her estranged husband Bradley Skinner, 59, after he broke into the house she shared with her mother around 6 p.m.
Police said Mr Skinner was armed with both a pistol and a large knife.
According to AL.com, his injuries are life threatening but he is expected to survive.
Police said the incident unfolded when her husband broke the glass out of a back door of the home in South Huntsville, Alabama, to get inside.
Officers say Mrs Skinner armed herself with a shotgun then went into the garage, where he followed her and aimed his pistol at her.
She then opened fire with a shotgun, hitting him in the chest, causing life-threatening injuries. Her mother ran from the house in the 2500 block of Bonnie Oaks Drive to a neighbor's house and called 911.
They demanded that she drop her weapon but when she turned toward them with the gun in her hand, at least one officer fired at her, wounding, but not killing her.
Mrs Skinner was struck by the police gunfire and both she and her husband were taken to Huntsville Hospital.
Mrs Skinner also had a protective order against her estranged husband, according to WHNT 19 News..
Meanwhile, the officer who shot the woman has been placed on administrative leave.
Gee, don't protect your home. The cops might shoot you for it. Someone breaks into your home with the intent on harming you, possibly killing you, and you protect yourself, and what do the cops do? Shoot you. Don't be in shock when the cops show up. Because if you just shot your assailant, and the cops say drop your gun, well you better not be in shock and better be able to hear them implicitly!
It used to be you could protect your home. Well there went that plan, huh? How insane is it that when you protect your home from someone coming to your home to shoot you, you shoot them to protect yourself, and you STILL get shot by the police!! Absolute insanity! Yes this officer has been place on admin leave, but any wagers he'll claim his life was in danger and not get in trouble?
