Trial Date Set For Woman Accused In FBI Agent's Death

A woman charged in the shooting death of an FBI agent during a raid at her Indiana Township home will go on trial in October.

A federal judge on Tuesday scheduled jury selection in the trial of Christina Korbe, 41, for Sept. 14, followed by opening arguments set for Oct. 4.

Korbe is charged with fatally shooting FBI Special Agent Samuel Hicks. Hicks was among the authorities serving an arrest warrant on Korbe's husband, Robert Korbe, 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.
