Former CNN anchor and Manzano High School graduate Lynne Russell told Action 7 News she and her husband Chuck de Caro were robbed at gunpoint around 11:30 p.m. at the Motel 6 near Coors and Iliff.
De Caro worked as a correspondent for CNN.
Russell said they were exhausted Tuesday night and decided to go to a motel to rest. She had gone to the car to get something when a man put a gun to her head, dragged her back into the motel room and demanded her valuables.
"The man pushed me inside, I was airborne, literally. And (I) landed on the bed, and that was about the time that Chuck came out of the shower," Russell said. "The man was just wild. He was pointing the gun, and the way that he was acting, it was as if he'd done it before."
Russell said she and her husband legally carry handguns, and they had them in the motel room.
For a moment, she said, it looked like the thief just wanted her husband's briefcase.
"He came over, grabbed the briefcase, and I thought for a moment he was just going to leave because he had something," Russell said. "Then he turned around and he opened fire. My husband returned fire. And he's a better shot."
According to police, both men fired multiple rounds.
Russell said her husband was hit three times. He underwent surgery at University of New Mexico Hospital and is expected to be there for a few days while he recovers.
Officers found the other man in the parking lot. He died at the scene.

Let me get this straight" Formerly, she was one of the "Faces of CNN", a network that promotes gun control and confiscation.
So what was she doing with a gun? or is this just another case of the elite hypocrisy, where she enjoys special privileges?

This is just more elite hypocrisy.
Yep, if I was out robbing people, Motel 6 is where I would head.
Better than Motel 5 but not as good as Motel 7.

My wife wants to know why am I looking to her silicon eyes?
If all you need is a fix then it would work.
Why don’t you read about her and educate yourself before spewing garbage?
Sum ting fishy about this. It reads like a bad lifetime movie about a woman and a hitman trying to off her husband. ....ah no it couldn’t be......silly me....
I’m just going to throw this out there.. how do we know they were Democrats? Besides the fact that they work at CNN.
He was former special forces and she is a multiple blackbelt owner.
Doesn’t sound like your typical pansy libs...
