NEW YORK Nicole Paultre says she's not angry.

Instead, the fiance of Sean Bell -- an unarmed man who died when New York City police sprayed 50 bullets at his car on his wedding day -- says she's trying to be strong for her two young daughters. Bell was shot outside s strip club.

Paultre appeared on C-N-N's "Larry King Live," wearing what would have been her wedding ring and a badge with a photo of the family.

She says she thinks officers used excessive force when they shot Bell, but added she doesn't blame the entire police department for the actions of a few.

Reverend Al Sharpton also appeared with Paultre. Sharpton said the Bell and Paultre families "want to see fairness" and an end to police abuse.

Paultre and Bell were high school sweethearts who had a three-year-old daughter and a 6-month-old baby girl together.
