Good to hear he's recovering well from his wounds.
Lynne Russel and Chuck de Caro are one very impressive couple!

Chuck de Caro, the former CNN journalist who last month shot and killed a would-be robber who accosted his wife, former CNN anchor Lynne Russell, is recovering from multiple gunshot wounds and even managing an anti-terrorism exercise from his New Mexico hospital bed, doctors said Sunday.
De Caro, 65 - a former investigative reporter, Special Forces member and military expert - killed Tomorio Walton, 27, in a shootout in an Albuquerque motel room June 30, said Russell - herself a licensed private investigator and former Fulton County, Georgia, sheriff's deputy with two martial arts black belts.
De Caro was seriously injured and has been in University of New Mexico Hospital -the state's only Level 1 Trauma Center - since then, doctors said Sunday. Since leaving journalism, de Caro, who has been a consultant to the Pentagon, developed a cyberwar platform called SOFTWAR, and he's been actively managing an exercise this weekend from his bed.
"I never thought I'd be running a ... war game from a hospital bed after having been shot three times," de Caro said Sunday. "But I'm feeling better and looking forward to a full recovery and getting back to the business of advancing the information warfare capabilities of our country."
Russell said de Caro was hit three times, but the bullets didn't strike any vital organs. "I am very, very proud of my husband. He is my hero," she said. "He saved my life."

Does anyone know the caliber of the bad guys pistol ?
Also how many times the bad guy took a hit ?
I think I seen a report that Chuck was shooting a .380acp .
A man who police say forced his "slave" to break into a former CNN anchor's New Mexico motel room, sparking a deadly shoot out, has been charged with murder.
