I used to live in Virginia. In 2006 a woman in Virginia Beach was slightly injured when her husband 'accidentally' shot a crossbow towards her (who keeps a crossbow?).

An aquaintance of mine knew this family. He said they all joked about the incident afterwards, even the woman who was grazed. She never suspected that her hsuband was trying to harm her.

A few months later, she was dead, shot through the heart with the crossbow. Hubby was convicted of murder.

I hope this poor lady in Brazil keeps her eyes open.
