3. Who fired a gun in a domestic dispute.

Yeah, he'd be to busy in jail to put in the resignation.

Not sure what your point here is.

She sounds like she has no business being in such a sensitive position with that sort of judgement.

2. She should have resigned the day it happened.

4. Never piss off a woman with a gun

5. The incident was a public relations nightmare that involved both firearms and domestic violence.

As the pertinent facts were never really in dispute, she should have resigned (or been terminated) the next day.
