She wanted to die:

"Diana Showman called 911 and reportedly told emergency dispatchers she had an Uzi and was going to shoot her family. But nobody else was home.

According to police and witnesses -- some of whom captured the encounter on cellphone video -- Showman emerged from her home with an item in each hand, and at some point dropped one of the items on a grassy berm. But she kept a large black item -- later revealed to be a black-painted cordless drill -- in one hand and continued toward the officers, defying their orders to drop it. As she got close to Officer Wakana Okuma, the officer fired a single shot."
