the lack of an apparent motive, suspect and the deceased's statement regarding killing herself all point to suicide.
Initially, the issue of could she have killed herself given the trajectory, placement of the gun and stuff related to this did bother me, but it was the weapon that happened to be around, and she probably didn't have any alternatives in regard to which weapons to use. She probably found a way to make it work since nothing else was available.
Another nagging question I have is: who would have known about the shotgun in her car except her? It's probably not something she went around telling everybody.
here's something I just thought of: what if the boyfriend realized she was about to committ suicide tried to discourage her by taking the gun away but it ended up going off somehow?
