Pittsburgh-area woman to plead in FBI shooting

PITTSBURGH — A Pittsburgh-area woman charged with murdering an FBI agent who came to her house to arrest her husband on drug charges is scheduled to enter a plea and be sentence in the case.

What’s not clear is what charges 42-year-old Christina Korbe will plead to, and whether she’ll be entering a guilty or no contest plea in the Nov. 19, 2008 shooting of Special Agent Samuel Hicks.

Korbe’s husband, Robert, is already serving a 25-year sentence for the drug trafficking charges that prompted the raid.

She’s due before a federal judge this morning.
