PITTSBURGH —

Two defense attorneys representing a Pittsburgh-area woman who fatally shot an FBI agent in November said they're not being paid.

As a result, attorneys John Elash and Philip DiLucente said they want a judge to let them quit representing Christina Korbe or to make them her court-appointed counsel.

If that happens, the government will pay their fees. A federal judge hasn't ruled on the request filed late Friday.

The 40-year-old Korbe, of Glenshaw, is accused of shooting FBI Special Agent Samuel Hicks who, along with other officers, went to Korbe's home to arrest her husband on drug charges on Nov. 19.

Korbe acknowledges shooting Hicks, but said she believed police were intruders and feared for her two children. Prosecutors said Korbe knew Hicks was an officer.
