There's a prison cell ready for the shooter who left a teenage Buffalo girl paralyzed.

Wednesday morning the victim's family told News 4 that 14-year-old Jalisa Goodman has hardly made any progress since she was hit by a bullet on Halloween last year.


Jalisa's mother, father and other family members sat quietly in Erie County Court, as 22-year-old Greyler Williams entered the courtroom to learn his fate.

Williams admitted that he accidentally fired a gun at a party on Bickford Avenue, last October.

The stray bullet went through a wall, hitting Jalisa who was 13 at the time.

Jalisa's sister Tiera Mack addressed the court, Wednesday morning.

Judge Penny Wolfgang listened as Teira spoke of her sister's heartbreaking recovery that she says has taken a toll on the entire family.


"She doesn't speak. She's confined to a bed or a chair, she can't walk, she can't eat regular food, she's on a tube feed," said Teira. "She should be out enjoying herself running track, cheerleading, doing all the things that she used to do."

SPRING, Texas -- The mother of a woman whose newborn son was snatched from her Tuesday as she was shot to death outside a suburban pediatric center said her daughter "died trying to save her baby."

The 3-day-old boy was found safe around 8 p.m., about six hours after his mother, Kala Marie Golden, was fatally shot following a verbal altercation in a parking lot, Montgomery County District Attorney Brett Ligon said.

Ligon said the child was "healthy" and that a person of interest had been detained, although no charges had been filed. He would not provide any details about the person.

A woman died of gunshot wounds in northeast Houston Monday morning after running to a neighbor’s house for help.

The bleeding woman ran next door and banged on the door to plead for help.

The neighbor tried to help, but the armed suspect had followed the victim.

"Opened the door and she was right there bleeding, and fell on him," said Emma Badino.

"I guess he ran after her and he said, ‘Don’t touch her, leave her alone.’ And he hurried up and closed the door."

The suspect dragged the woman, his live-in girlfriend, back into his house where he shot her again...

Was this gun owner defending himself?

A man fatally shot four people, including a toddler, at a home in a Phoenix suburb Wednesday before being found dead, authorities said.


Gilbert police said they weren't sure yet whether the man committed suicide, as the Associated Press had previously reported.


At a briefing for reporters, Gilbert police Sgt. Bill Balafas said all the evidence points to the shooting being a domestic violence situation. He didn't elaborate.


Authorities said the man was armed with several firearms, and officers recovered two handguns and a shotgun.
