Disagreed. Freaking out is what cartoon housewives do when they see a mouse. Adults do not. They may get very alert and defensive, but freaking out and killing come much later up the scale of threat.

Could a reasonable person mistake an apartment door? Yes. Could that same reasonable person fear for their life upon entering an apartment they thought was there's? Yes.
But can they act on that fear and justifiably kill, absent an
imminent threat? Absolutely not.

So where's the crime at? She didn't do anything a non-reasonable person would do.
She did. Reasonable people don't 'freak out' and kill others. Police officers yell 'freeze! Police!' or the like before killing unarmed and, as far as we know, unthreatening people.
