I'd even recommend talking about this with her one to one as quickly as is reasonably and respectfully possible. It will be better if she is not allowed to emotionally stew in this revelation to arrive at the mentioned conclusion.
She needs to know it won't go away and it changes literally nothing about the marriage or feelings
...Assuming the flash drive isn't loaded to the gills with malware alongside of every game it offers to install...that sounds fair.
But let's be real; No legitimate company stands a chance of doing this without getting sued into oblivion. Unfortunately that means the risk of getting viruses and malware with your purchase, likely ransomware or cryptominer droppers, is really high.
...but let's assume you're technical enough that you can disarm all the malware on the USB stick and clean the cruft out of it. Then; yeah...maybe you'll get your value's worth.
I should point out that pellet guns do not have a 'Day-Glo Safety Orange/Red' tip.
As they do eject actually harmful projectiles; they look much like other guns until you get close to them. Reasonable parenting would have included making sure the child understood that under no circumstances do you point that at people.
That doesn't make this less of a tragedy, but it does provide some context to the situation. Cops are, sadly, trained out of necessity not to try to discern when on the receiving end of any gun barrel. While it's difficult to expect a child to know not to point weapons at police; doing so is in fact dangerous.
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAA
No.
She should be ejected from the chamber(s) for a while in my opinion, and forced to "telecommute" her votes and participation in, if they even choose to let her participate at all in the lawmaking, for the rest of her term.
There's no reason that behavior should be excusable.

For the love of god; the media needs to start ignoring the orange idiot.
Report only on his court cases and their outcomes and nothing more. Give this fool no airtime.
I mostly agree here.
Although; I have a slightly different experience as well that makes me highly distrustful of people who tout being 'sapphic' as well; as I've seen quite a few people who identify with that label participating in the same kinds of toxic and exclusionary behavior that the self labeled 'lesbians' that are referenced in this article are participating in.
In general; excluding members of the rainbow who are less numerous than our identity group is; is in fact punching down on them and is not cool. If you bear any label in the whole spectrum; you should at least try to know better, and reject exclusionary behavior.
Of course people will be exclusionary to the extent they can get away with it. Don't let them get away with it when you see it. Call it out and educate them kindly if possible; especially those who should know better.
As someone who is as deeply queer as she is transfeminine; I do experience some strange bouts of gatekeeping; especially around people who think I am inherently less feminine than they would prefer.
Go complain at their Editor.
Yeah, whoever came up with that idea needs to be busted down to the rank of Buck Sargent for the rest of their career.
Nothing about this misinformation campaign actually defends America. In fact, arguably, it could even have harmed America significantly by persuading a population of the world to remain woefully unvaccinated and thus extending the worst of the Pandemic for the entire world.
Why Not Both?
So we have:
