— Grammy-winning singer Marc Cohn says the bullet that lodged in his temple as he rode in a car after a Denver concert earlier this month seemed like "an abstraction" until he heard the footsteps of his alleged assailant and saw his own blood.

Cohn, best known for his song "Walking In Memphis," was heading back to a hotel after performing at the Denver Botanic Gardens on Aug. 7 when he was shot during what police say was an attempted carjacking.

Cohn, who is married to ABC News anchor Elizabeth Vargas, had a bullet removed from the skin beneath his right temple. He was released from a hospital a day after the attack.

Joseph Yacteen, 26, has been charged with attempted murder.
