So she knew that she was to die anyway. Therefore it was only logical and clever for her to fire the gun herself and die as a warning to the approaching Highway Man so that at least he can escape.

Even if they would not have captured her she would have done the same thing to warn her lover, because sacrifice is supreme love. Wisdom does not forbid sublimity in love.
