so what about the situation where if her child would already be born and she brought him along, but then jumped behind the child as soon as he pulled a gun in self defense, do you think he should legally be able to unload into this random bystander to hit the lady? shouldn't they both be charged?
If the woman backs off, by jumping behind her child, that could no longer be considered an attack, hence self defense would not apply here, and shooting would be murder/assault/whatever
If the woman continues the attack, even with her child, she's responsible for what happens
I don't know the Alabama laws, so I'm just speculating
