A 51-year-old who was dropping off two friends at a Bronx nursing home when she was shot in the stomach by an arrow. On a quiet Riverdale street, Denise Delgado-Brown collapsed and told her friends, "They shot me with an arrow!"
The Daily News reports that Delgado-Brown "clutched the shaft of the 30-inch long arrow that pierced her 2 inches above her bellybutton and screamed for her friends to call 911." Friend Olga Rivera said, "I thought it was a joke... She wanted to take it out, but I told her not to." Delgado-Brown, described in the Post as "a traffic court officer [who] helped run the youth ministry at the Yonkers Christian Assembly, sang in the choir and volunteered to feed the homeless," was taken to St. Barnabas Hospital where she is in stable condition after emergency surgery.
Police swarmed the area—also with a helicopter— to find the shooter. The cops don't think that Delgado-Brown was the target, because, apparently, "the arrow was facing downward when it struck Brown leading police to believe that it was descending after being fired high into the air." The fiberglass arrow with yellow feathers and a rounded metal tip is also apparently one used for practice or hunting. The arrow could have been launched from a nearby picnic area. A police source told the News, "It's a freak thing." Naturally, residents of the nursing home are upset: One 87-year-old resident said to the NY Times, "That’s something really unusual. All the ladies in there will be really shaken up.”

This is the future of crime.
No bullets No guns.
The good old Arrows. Maybe I should buy a bow and arrow and go postal.
The cops are not going to look for the guy who shot the arrow. Because it was an "accident", not manslaughter.
Dumba#$ NYC police.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow described this case many decades ago:
I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.
I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For who has sight so keen and strong,
That it can follow the flight of song?
Long, long afterward, in an oak
I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.
Well, he got the last stanza wrong.

I used to do this as a kid all the time. We'd shoot an arrow as high in the air as we could and then scatter since we didn't know where it would land.
Of course, I lived in the middle of nowhere, not an urban jungle.
ding!
Hihowareya, hihowareya....
This is great -- a gag from the Kentucky Fried Movie has happened in real life.

Oh, no, the Pawnee have returned.
They probably want their souls back...

ted nugent wanted for questioning.
having a very pregnant wife, this story sends shivers down my spine.
Horrible. Unbelievable that anyone would target this poor lady.
Could this be another sign of the recession? Guns becoming more and more expensive so now people are resorting to more primitive weapons.
Maybe the natives want their island back.
Man, people are SO freakin' stupid. I feel really bad for this woman.
