Trial date set in Pa. FBI agent’s shooting death

PITTSBURGH (AP) — A western Pennsylvania woman charged with murdering an FBI agent during a raid will go on trial in October.

A federal judge on Tuesday scheduled jury selection in the trial of 41-year-old Christina Korbe for September 14, followed by opening arguments set for October 4.

Korbe is charged with fatally shooting FBI Special Agent Samuel Hicks at her home in Glenshaw, just northeast of Pittsburgh. Hicks was among the authorities serving an arrest warrant on Korbe’s husband when she shot Hicks in the chest in November 2008.

Korbe has acknowledged shooting Hicks, but claims she thought he was an intruder. Prosecutors contend she knew he was an officer.
