Fortunately, she didn't, that's just the interpretation of the interviewer; an 
unfortunate choice, IMHO.  Here's the paragraph from the interview writeup:

Readers should be prepared to see a popular character meet a grisly end. She 
says: "I'm puzzled by the fact that people say, `Oh you're going to kill people?' I 
really don't think you need too much insight to guess that death and murder are 
always a possibility in the world."
