I just saw some short clips from a movie (I presume), Molly Shannon was the only one in the cast I recognized. It was a suburban setting, some guy gets shot in the back at a neighborhood barbeque, later she and a 10-year-old boy both have handguns and are in a standoff with law enforcement, and a sharpshooter picks her off (not immediately dead). There’s some young guy associated with law enforcement who was probably the star, but I didn’t recognize him. I think this must be in the last, say, 10 years, based on her appearance, but I’m not certain. I couldn’t find it in her IMDb listing. There was a narrator describing events, rather than audio from the clips, but unfortunately it was in a foreign language, and I never saw anything to identify the movie. It all looked pretty intense, and I wondered if the movie was worth watching. ---

Haven’t seen it but I believe she gets shot in [A Good Person](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14153080/) . ---

Huh, interesting (and thanks). I have read every review in IMDb about that film, as well as the plot synopsis, and nothing seems to hint at the scenes I saw. But it does sound like that film is worth watching, even if it isn’t the film I saw clips from (which it might be). ---

It’s an episode of the series _Hannibal_ titled “[Oeuf](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2373031/).” ---

Pretty sure that was an episode infamously unaired or significantly edited because of the Sandy Hook school massacre. ---

Yes, that’s it. IMDb says “The “web series” version of the episode is heavily censored and runs only 22 minutes. There are no scenes featuring Molly Shannon or the murder of children.”
