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."
