We have a shooter with my club who says he know's the officer and has known her for some time. Her "training" may have helped, but I didn't get the impression it was the training her PD provided. She's an officer who does shoot on a routine basis though according to this guy. That in itself, in my limited experience, is a rare thing.

Don't know all the facts but on the surface, it sounds like this officer thought fast on her feet and acted quickly.
My guess is she was targeted before hand but these morons didn't know what they were getting into. They assumed they had an unarmed, distracted female. They were wrong.
Their first clue that she had a gun was likely the first round she fired. I've always thought that the advice "Don't draw on a drawn gun..." was short sighted and failed to take into account the element of surprise.
One can fake compliance to create to opportunity to strike. It sounds like the officer did just that. And in the process, she has probably put a significant dent in the number of driveway robberies and car-jackings in Fort Bend County that would have been reported at the end of next month.
