Sadly the mom is partly to blame for this. I don't victim blame, but she opened their front door when she heard gun-shots!! Even if somebody is being chased, family always comes first. It's a no-brainer. Look how the guy's friends callously disregarded them , even the dying girl. 
 She will always blame herself for her mistake :(
Sad all around.

I would have likely made the same move.

Growing up in the country I was taught, that you don't run from something when you don't know what you are running from, or where you are running to.

I still live in the woods, and until about five years ago, when I gave up my guns, because of my Mother's vision and hearing issues, if I heard something roaming about, I would collect my shotgun, and I would explore. Nothing like the sound of an engaging shot gun to send trespassers on their way.

Being two old ladies, we have the next best solution to the odd misplaced sounds of the woods. We call our neighbors that are good old country boys, extremely protective of our tiny homesteads, and more than willing to explore and protect.

But if I heard shooting outside of my house, and I could not see where it was coming from, from my windows, I would very likely have opened the door to see what was happening, and what course of action I would need to take.

Just like several weeks ago. We got bombarded with some odd sounds. It actually sounded like we were in the middle of an air strike. Almost everyone out here went outside to see what the hell was going on. None of us could see anything from where we where so a couple of the guys drove out of the woods to  see if they could locate where the noise was coming from. No luck, it stopped before they could locate it.

Sometimes staying put or running, when you don't know where to run, is a bigger mistake then facing the unknown you fear.
