Grammy Winner Shot In Carjacking

A man suspected of shooting a Grammy-winning musician during an attempted car jacking was arrested after a five-and-a-half hour standoff with police.

Marc Cohn, who had a hit with the song "Walking in Memphis" and won the Grammy for best new artist in 1992, was shot in the temple late Sunday when a man fired into his band's van in a parking garage.

Cohn, who is married to ABC news reporter Elizabeth Vargas, was treated at a hospital and released Monday. He canceled the remaining five stops on his tour with Suzanne Vega.

The bullet grazed Cohn's driver and tour manager Thomas Dube, who also was treated and released.

Police spokesman Sonny Jackson said the bullet appeared to have been slowed by the van's windshield and by Dube before hitting Cohn. "Frankly, I can't tell you how he survived," Jackson said.

Joseph William Yacteen, 26, is being held on suspicion of attempted first degree murder, robbery and other charges.

Yacteen allegedly tried to stop Cohn's van in the parking garage after allegedly fleeing a downtown hotel Sunday night, where he had tried to pay his bill with a stolen credit card.

Police said Yacteen fired one bullet into the van after Dube, who saw that he had a gun, sped up and swerved trying to avoid Yacteen. The van was carrying four people at the time.

Yacteen also allegedly fired several shots while fleeing security guards and trying to take a car from a woman. He eventually disappeared in a stolen SUV.

An arrest warrant was issued July 15 for Yacteen, who missed a court hearing on that date for a drug and weapons charge. He had been free on $25,000 bond.
