Last year, NY was terrorized by a string of highly unlikely (accidental) bow-and-arrow attacks. Today, we can sleep a little more easily with some closure: Eric Collins, the man who mistakenly shot a 51-year-old woman in the stomach with an arrow, pleaded guilty yesterday to assault. Collins will be sentenced in June to 143 days of community service and three years of probation for firing a deadly, dangerous, very old-fashioned weapon. more ›

The Whitestone resident whose 20th Road home was pierced by an arrow Tuesday night spent yesterday showing the damage to reporters. Eric Weinberger told 1010 WINS, "I was coming in from taking out the garbage, then I heard a loud noise...looked up...saw the arrow sticking out of the side of my house. Two seconds earlier and it would have hit me." He pointed out the arrow hit a window frame; just inside was where his wife and a daughter were sitting, "It could have hit one of them, God forbid." The NY Times reports that the police found another arrow down the street and even "deployed" a helicopter, "sweeping the streets with a spotlight." While Weinberger, a Costco receiving manager, says he has no enemies and believes it was a copycat incident, the police said, "At this point the detectives are working on the hypothesis that it was another accidental shooting, and someone is just afraid to come forward." more ›

It's pretty much agreed that shooting a bow and arrow in New York City isn't the greatest idea, especially after a woman was shot—with a huge fiberglass arrow— in the stomach the other week. Yet last night, a hunting arrow landed in the of a Queens home in Bayside. The woman's husband, Eric Weinberger, was taking out the trash at the time and saw the three-foot arrow travel by him, towards their home on 20th Road. He said he told his family to take cover, "Get out of here! Somebody shot an arrow into the house!"—his wife was helping one of their daughter with her homework at that very window—but added, "Then like a dummy, I went back outside." The arrow was reportedly lodged 3-4 inches into the frame. Cops found another arrow on the ground while Weinberger's 13-year-old daughter said she saw a van. Weinberger said, "It is a copycat. have no enemies in the neighborhood." more ›
