And then, of course, the townspeople that they interviewed for the same article are like, no one wishes her any ill will.

I mean, both things can be true.
They could have felt like she was a victim, but also please leave.

And apparently when she was hustled off to the bank, whoever did that saved her life because even if they hadn't have been aiming for her, she probably would have gotten hit by a stray bullet after that second round.
