The 29-year-old and eldest member of the deadly Dougherty Gang, which also included her brothers Ryan Edward Dougherty, 21, and Dylan Dougherty Stanley, 26, had aimed her machine gun at Walsenburg, Colo., Police Chief James Chamberlain, before she was shot.
A Pueblo County judge set bond at $1.25 million each on Thursday for the three who had led cops on a cross state crime spree after shooting up a cop car in Florida and robbing a Valadosta, GA bank.
The crazy crew were eventually caught after a wild 100mph chase in southern Colorado during which at least one of the gang took pot shots at pursuing officers.
Lee Dougherty, initially told federal investigators that she and her brothers "weren't trying to hurt anyone" during a wild chase and shootout.
The three who now face charges of attempted murder of a police officer and assault on a police officer
made their first court appearance in Pueblo, Colo., appearing by video from jail.
Barbara Bell of East Palatka, Fla., spoke briefly Thursday to The Associated Press but declined to discuss their ordeal, saying she didn't think it would help them in the long run.
She said: "Thank God they're not tried by the media. They're tried in a court of law and their story will come out at that time."
