A former CNN anchor says her husband fatally shot a would-be robber at motel in Albuquerque.
Lynne Russell told KOAT-TV that a man pointed a gun at her head when she went to get something from her car late Tuesday night.
Russell said the man then pulled her into her hotel room at gunpoint where her husband exchanged gunfire with the man. The robber was killed and husband wounded.
Russell did not immediately respond to inquiries from The Associated Press, but former CNN colleagues Ted Kavanau and Patrick Clawson told the AP she had described the incident to them.
Albuquerque police spokesman Tanner Tixier he did not know the identities of those involved but said it appeared to be random robbery attempt.
