A well known Hollywood stuntwoman and her husband was killed during an ambush she planned on Wednesday.
According to the New York Post, Cheryl Sanders, 59, and her husband Reed Sanders, 56, traveled six hours from their home in North Carolina to confront her ex-husband, Lindsey Duncan outside of his home in Yellow Springs, Ohio. Sanders and her husband started shooting towards Duncan, leading to a deadly shootout. Duncan said he feared for his wife Molly’s life before he shot and killed Sanders.

“The most difficult of this whole process — besides listening to my wife say, ‘I’m going to die, they’re going to kill me’ — is having to tell my two daughters that their mother’s been shot,”

He added that Sanders’ husband pointed a gun inches away from Molly’s head and said: “what happened after that was instinct.” Reports from authorities say that Cheryl drove to Duncan’s home to discuss an educational trust fund but Molly said the couple started shooting out of nowhere.
“The word ‘ambush’ is exactly what it was. We were caught off-guard. They said nothing and they started shooting at us.”
Cheryl Sanders was a stuntwoman who worked in Hollywood for movies such as “Back to The Future II” and did stunt work for Sandra Bullock, Cameron Diaz, Nicole Kidman, and Jessica Alba.
Greene County Sheriff Gene Fischer said in a statement that Duncan contacted him previously about his ex-wife’s dangerous behavior.
