Basically, she rehashes a lot of what we already know. The FBI killed their dog first. This pissed off her dad, Randy, who told his son to fire back. So he did (no one was hit). From there the stand-off and escalation happened
This is not exactly how it happened. There was an initial exchange of gunfire because the feds shot the barking dog.

Yeah, I do not focus on the initial exchange because both sides are going to tell the story that is most advantageous to them. Bottom line, an initial encounter of six marshals with the Weavers resulted in a firefight and the deaths of Deputy U.S. Marshal William Francis Degan, age 42, the Weaver's son Samuel (Sammy), age 14, and a Weaver family dog, all by gunshot (quoted from Wikipedia).
None of that justifies the later shooting of Vicki Weaver.
