De Caro shot and killed the thief

He *gasp* had a gun?!

Whatever could he have needed that for?! When he could just call the Police and wait a half hour or so for them to arrive!

Must be one of those crazed, racist crackers from Charleston.

If they had been good, non-hypocritical journalists, they would have been unarmed..... and killed.

Their good luck they didn’t toe the liberal line.

And she had a voice worth listening to. Didn’t matter what she said.

Nah, Jane Russell was a lot older.

Lynne was an only child, ABQ was the last place her family ended up when her dad was in Army. Guess it’s “home” to her.

Still a woman from the same mold: nice rack.

Glad her husband thought she was worth defending.

Lynn still looks good but appears to have had a little body work done. I approve.

Lynne Russell is one tough woman, who can open a can of whoop-a$$ herself when necessary. I always liked her on CNN back in the 1990s.

He's a former special forces officer who now works as a national security strategist... so I understand he would have a gun. But in the article it says he stood in front of a nightstand, where they had placed their legal, .35-caliber handguns. She had one too?

Lynne Russell — the first woman to ever solo-anchor a primetime network news show — and Chuck de Caro, 65, had stopped at a Motel 6 for the night in Albuquerque when an intruder slipped into their room as Russell went to grab something from the car around 11:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Motel 6?!

seriously dude.

...

Do you know for a fact she is a lefty?

I think she was a police officer at one time, but it was her husband who did the shooting, not her.
