Bows Are For A Little Girl's Hair

Another senseless bow and arrow death:

Authorities have arrested a Nash man in connection with the weekend death of a neighbor, who police say was shot with a bow and arrow.

Nash police investigator Tommy Davlin said Jerry Don Parker, who was in his 50s, was hit in the right side of the chest with an arrow Saturday afternoon. Bowie County authorities arrested James Shope, 49, a short time later. The bow was not immediately recovered.

Shope was being held Sunday night in the Bi-State Justice Building Jail on a murder charge, authorities said.

Davlin said in a story in Sunday's online edition of the Texarkana Gazette that Shope's wife told authorities the men, who lived next door to each other, had been arguing all day.

You can walk right into a department store and buy one of these things, no questions asked. Unbelievable.
