Teenage Activist Recovering After Being Gunned Downed in Pakistan

Posted: Updated:

(KCEN) -- We have an update on a 14-year-old Pakistani girl shot by Taliban gunmen.

Malala Yousufzai is reportedly making progress.

Malala was shot in the head and the neck on her way home from school Tuesday but is showing positive development.

She has been an outspoken advocate for women's education which the Taliban opposes.  

The shooting has caused widespread condemnation in Pakistan and around the world.

General Asim Saleem Bajwa says, "Malala is still on ventilator. They reduced her sedation today in order to carry out a better clinical assessment by the neurosurgeons."

The girl was able to move her 4 limbs.

Pakistani police confirmed they have arrested suspects in the case.
