Former CNN anchor: We're alive thanks to the 2nd Amendment

Last night, Megyn Kelly updated the harrowing story of Lynne Russell and her husband Chuck de Caro, who got robbed at a motel and ended up in a gunfight. De Caro, a former CNN reporter and at one time a Green Beret commando, took three bullets and lived, but the assailant ended up dead in the parking lot. Russell, a former CNN Headline News anchor, told Kelly in a brief phone interview about the shooting, with a particular emphasis on how they were able to survive the encounter. It turns out that Russell and de Caro are, as one might expect, big fans of the 2nd Amendment.

Hopefully

As for the robber, Russell says she’s sorry he’s dead, but not for the reason one might think. “I’d like to kill him again,” Russell concludes.
