Maybe the statement tells you what you want to know:

"When I heard Nic’s shot go off I stepped out from behind him ..." BB statement.

"Brittany didn’t know at the time that Punki was under the leopard because she was walking behind me when it happend and when she stepped out behind me, ..." JNK statement.

No need for speculation. As Mac suggested re-read the statements.

It does, sort of.

"Stepping out from behind" is one of those statements I'd ask the attorney to clarify in depositions!

To me, it is unclear if it means she shot from behind him and slightly to the side or in front of him. The latter seems unlikely as I would think someone would say the person behind them "ran around them", or "pushed to the front", or "walked in front" or "got in front of me" or some such statement making clear the shot was taken from in front of him. He makes no such statement.

For example, when I had the trouble with the bear, my son dove over my left side/shoulder to get into it. He had every opportunity to stand back behind me and shoot between my legs, or jump to the side and take a whack at it thusly. Obviously two circumstances are not equal, but I am bringing that up because in no way would I refer to what he did as "stepping out from behind me". I think the PH's statement is this; She shot from behind him, but somewhat to the side. Obviously she couldn't have shot from directly behind him because he is much bigger than her and she would not have been able to see the critter at all if she had. I think both her and his words indicate that she was behind and to the side of him when she fired. I think.
