Former CNN Headline News anchor Lynne Russell and her husband were involved in attempted robbery at an Albuquerque motel that turned into a gunfight.
The two were passing through New Mexico and stopped at a Motel 6. While her husband Chuck de Caro took a shower, she went to the car to get something. That's when a thug put a gun to her head, dragged her back into the motel room and demanded her valuables.
Her husband jumped out of the shower, grabbed his gun and the two men had a shootout. Russell was not hit. She said the suspect fired first. Her husband was hit three times. He underwent surgery at University of New Mexico Hospital and is expected to recover.
Officers found the would-be robber in the parking lot. He died at the hospital. (Good)
