PITTSBURGH — A Pittsburgh-area woman has pleaded guilty in the fatal shooting of an FBI agent who came to her house to arrest her husband on drug charges.

Forty-two-year-old Christina Korbe entered the plea Tuesday to charges of voluntary manslaughter and possessing a weapon in connection with a crime in the 2008 shooting death of Special Agent Samuel Hicks. Under her agreement with federal prosecutors, Korbe would spend at least 15 years in prison.

Korbe had repeatedly claimed she fired on officers who raided her Indiana Township home because she thought they were intruders.

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