CO: Woman who killed man, wounded another, won't face charges: "The Weld County District Attorney’s Office announced Thursday that it will not file criminal charges against a woman who killed a man and wounded another at her home in what she said was an attempted burglary. Karen Cordova, 48, of Erie was initially arrested on charges of second-degree homicide and attempted second-degree homicide. They now say she may have acted in self-defense after the two men botched a robbery. Authorities say 40-year-old Stephen Erickson, also from Erie, drove to a friend's home after he was stabbed. He was listed in critical condition in a Lafayette hospital. Authorities found the body of a second man, identified as Kyle Dust, at Cordova's house while investigating Erickson's stabbing. An autopsy showed Dust died from a gunshot wound. Cordova told police the two men broke into her house where she grows medical marijuana."
