In the city, things have really been cleared out nicely. We had the wind to help sort of dry things out yesterday.

Reporter good morning, rahel and jim. Ive learned that two vietnamese women actually live in this home and at this point police are not sure why they were targeted. They are looking into whether the three suspect in custody new these women at all. Now, the women were shaken, but declined medical treatment. This is just a very dangerous situation for them, as well as police who responded to this. This all started around 2 00 a. M. This morning, when neighbors called police after hearing screaming and yelling coming from the home, which is at the corner of 66 and greenway avenue. Now, officers arrived to find the back door kicked in, and two women inside with their hands bound behind their backs with speaker wire. One of the women had been punched in the face and choked.

Lieutenant john walker praised response of neighbors, as well as police, in a situation that could have very well ended in tragedy.
