Jury convicts woman of attempted murder

ANCHORAGE - An Anchorage jury has convicted a woman of attempted murder for pulling a gun on her supervisors during a job evaluation.

The jury returned its verdict Wednesday against Karan Clifton.

Anchorage Deputy District Attorney Sharon Marshall says Clifton was armed with a loaded handgun when she went to the meeting with her bosses. When a supervisor told Clifton she would need an evaluation before returning to work, Marshall says Clifton pulled out the gun and pointed it at the chest of one of her supervisors.

Marshall says Clifton pulled the trigger, but the gun didn't fire. Clifton was apprehended after a struggle.

She faces up to 99 years in jail at sentencing.
