Imagine the resident just shot her since she didn't have a warrant. What would happen then?

  Assuming the resident survived the several minutes immediately following doing so, I expect they'd be approaching sentencing soon.

  I’m assuming this wasn’t a no-knock warrant. The resident shouldn't have had a reasonable fear for their life or safety. Just because someone trespasses in your house illegally doesn't mean its legal to use force to remove them yourself.

    That actually depends on jurisdiction.

      I'm unaware of any USA jurisdiction where it is legal for a private citizen to use force to remove a trespasser from their home in a situation where a reasonable person would not fear bodily harm.
