>if Erika really did shoot him, why would she use this explanation?
If I might be so bold as to give an explanation for why she used this explanation, I think it's a red herring. Or maybe the truth, depending on who sees it I guess? The manga explicitly gives the answer basically everyone imagined and knew. Either through name change or personaly change, it's still the same answer that Kanon switched to become Shannon and then Kanon 'escaped'. Erika is parroting everyone's answer to how Kanon escaped. So that you, and others, might think
>oh, look, Erika is giving the exact explanation and solution I thought, this is the truth, why else would she be saying that?
And as I said, giving an incorrect blue truth is not equivalent as a red truth. This is why small bombs is accepted even though it's completely ridiculous and bullshit.

>Why didn't she just say that she killed him?
She didn't think of it. She shot Battler in the closet, then time stopped, the idea of Kanon escaping from the room with Jessica and the others came about, Kanon switched places with Battler and then died at his place. She was caught up with the idea of Kanon escaping.

Maybe it's the truth, maybe it's a red herring. Who knows.
