I'm just wondering why there is any issue at all if the intruder was already dead when she shot him?
"shoots dead" = "shoots and kills"
Teen mom shoots dead intruder... that means the teen mom shoots an intruder who was dead at the time.
Teen mom shoots intruder dead... that means the teen mom shot and killed the guy.

It depends on where you place the emphasis when saying it. In this instance, the verb is "to shoot dead". But it's not great written English.
