A Yonkers woman was shot in the stomach yesterday by an arrow from a mystery assailant, reports the New York Daily News. She was struck as she dropped off churchgoers at a Bronx nursing home. "They shot me with an arrow," she screamed as she clutched the 30-inch shaft protruding from her belly. The angle of entry indicated the arrow arced from the sky. The woman was in stable condition following surgery last night. Police were continuing to search for the archer.
