Denver: Woman Killed by Estranged Husband at Alliance Center

HeadlineJun 30, 2016

In Denver, a woman has been fatally shot inside The Alliance Center by her estranged husband. Fifty-three-year-old Cara Russell was the executive director of the Colorado Association for Recycling and the former mayor of Buena Vista, Colorado. She had a restraining order and had recently filed for divorce. Her ex-husband walked into The Alliance Center with a handgun on Tuesday and shot her, before killing himself. She died later in the hospital. Her murder comes after the massacre of 49 people in Orlando by Omar Mateen, who also had a history of domestic violence.
