1. A woman who was shot by her neighbor Wednesday morning is recovering, thanks to the quick actions of a Good Samaritan nearby. The incident occurred around 11:00 a.m. in a neighborhood off of South Grand Boulevard, where YoVan Young heard a woman screaming and rushed to her aid. Young reportedly helped the woman get behind a car for safety and used his belt as a tourniquet to slow the bleeding in her leg. Officials say the suspect involved is now in custody. (KMOV4)
