Detectives Investigating Arrow Shot Into Andorra Window

Detectives are investigating whether someone intentionally shot an arrow at a home in Philadelphia's Andorra neighborhood.

The arrow hit the Scotia Street home sometime Wednesday and became lodged in a second-floor bedroom window. The window frame stopped the flying weapon.

The homeowner, who asked not to be identified, called the situation scary and said her grandson occasionally sleeps in the room.

She called police and now detectives are looking into the incident trying to determine whether it was an accident.

Neighbors describe the enclave in Northwest Philadelphia as quiet and were shocked to hear about the arrow shooting.

"I don't even know why someone would be shooting a bow and arrow. There's no hunting," neighbor Mary Kasper said Thursday. She lives a block over from where the arrow landed.

Anyone with information is asked to call Philadelphia Police at 215.686.TIPS.
