In the first place they are not by legal definition trespassing. You don't own the air. You may not like it but them's the laws.
In the second place you shoot one down that's been registered with the FAA and you are out of local jurisdiction and can be charged in federal court, not the local guy.
Third place this incident took place BEFORE the FAA got involved with drones. With the new rules it's a new ball game.
If you bother to read a little law it's illegal under federal law to shoot at any REGESTERED aircraft. Those new rules didn't go into affect until Dec 15, Merideth shot that drone down in in Oct 15. Plus they don't go into it but the DA can appeal that decision.
Plus the owner of the drone in question has sued in US District Court as of last week. So it's not done yet.
