Trenton Man Attacks Neighbor With Bow & Arrow (No gun involved or someone could have gotten hurt)
Edited on Sat May-01-10 07:38 AM by shadowrider
Trenton Police have arrested a man who attacked his neighbor with a bow and arrow Thursday evening.

Just after 11 p.m., police received a report that a man, identified as Anthony Giovannini, 35, was struck with what he believed was a rock as he was walking inside of his house on the 400 block of Franklin Street.

Giovannini told police that after being struck, he looked and observed his neighbor, later identified as Robert Wood, 41, entering his home. The victim then noticed an arrow protruding from his back and yelled for his girlfriend to call police and an ambulance arrived immediately.

Giovannini was treated at the Capital Health Regional Medical Center for a four inch puncture wound to the back.

An investigation revealed that there had been an ongoing problem between Wood and Giovannini over parking and several criminal mischief incidents were previously reported to police.

Wood was apprehended by police and two bows were confiscated from his home. Wood was charged with aggravated assault and a weapons offense.

Trenton Police consider this investigation ongoing and anyone with information is urged to contact the Tip Line at 609-989-3663.

1. aggravated assault and a weapons offense ???
Shooter got off real easy. Sounds like attempted murder to me.

3. The point is, ban guns and the bad guys will STILL find weapons with which to kill
or attempt to kill

4. In a nutshell
If not a bullet, an arrow; if not an arrow, a thrown rock; if not a thrown rock, the jawbone of an ass at close range.

Maybe we'd just best take things to their logical conclusion and let the TSA determine what items we can possess, lest we harm others.
