The Bride showed up at her house with the intent of fighting and killing her. Her daughter showed up, so they stopped. Then they set up a time and place to fight to the death. Vernita pulled a gun on her in defense of her life and her daughter's. Perfectly valid on her part.
And no, she didn't kill Elle. But she did leave her for dead. And she didn't kill Budd either, but she had all intentions of killing him.
She's just a bitch.
