CNN pioneer unloads F-bomb over guns :: 07/07/2015

Lynne Russell, a former CNN anchor who worked for the cable network between 1983 and 2001 – and who was attacked by an armed felon during a trip with her husband – issued a sharp rebuke against those who want to control Americans’ access to guns: “Shut the f— up,” she said, to a local television station.

“If you don’t want to carry, please don’t,” Russell said to Fox 411. “Then, shut the f— up about it. Make your own decisions.”

Lynne Russell

Russell and her husband, former CNN reporter Chuck de Caro, were recently attacked by an armed man, Tomorio Watson, who approached them in Albuquerque, New Mexico, at their Motel 6 room. Tomorio reportedly held a gun to Russell’s head and forced her into the hotel room, and demanded she and her husband give up their possessions. He then began shooting at de Caro, a former Green Beret. De Caro was hit three times but pulled his own gun and shot Tomorio, killing him.

Russell credited de Caro with saving both their lives, as well as the Second Amendment, the Daily Caller reported.

“The discussion over the debate to own a gun is just ridiculous,” she told Fox 411. “As Americans we have the right to bear arms and as humans the right to protect ourselves. I’m sure that the man who shot my husband did not have a gun permit. Criminals will always have guns. The rest of us legally obtain our gun permits.”
