I'm at a loss. One of you good folks will have to explain how this was an accident. Police: Bow, Arrow Shooting Was Likely Accidental Woman In Serious Condition www.nbc4i.com/news/9216996/detail.htmlNEWARK, Ohio -- More details were uncovered Sunday about a Newark woman who was believed to have been shot in the eye with a bow and arrow. The woman was shot at a home on Rose Hill Avenue at about 7 p.m. Saturday, NBC 4's Tacoma Newsome reported. The incident occurred while a couple were attempting to fix a problem they were having with a compound bow, officials said. "He had to take the tension or actually put the tension on the bow, so you had to draw the bow back and his fiancee was checking an area for it and he let go of the string by accident," said Newark police Sgt. Chuck Wilhelm. Michelle Swartz, 23, was hit by the arrow, but was impaled by an object connected to the sighting system. It struck above her right eye and was lodged about 2 to 4 inches deep. Police are still investigating the incident but said evidence suggests it was an unfortunate mishap. "They're considering this as an accident. I think it was just a freak thing," Wilhelm said. Swartz was taken to Grant Medical Center, where she is listed in serious condition.
