PHILADELPHIA – Witnesses say a man accused of fatally shooting his wife with a crossbow in Philadelphia stood naked at his own doorway as she stumbled to a neighbour’s home and collapsed in a pool of her own blood.

Margie Maldonado says 42-year-old Pamela Nightlinger stumbled through Maldonado’s front door Sunday night bleeding from her chest and that Nightlinger’s husband, Paul Kuzan, was standing naked in his doorway saying “crazy things.”

Maldonado says Kuzan then went back inside “like nothing happened.”

Nightlinger later died at a hospital.

Police say Kuzan used a high-velocity crossbow. Police officials say the bolt penetrated her body, went through a couch and became lodged in a wall.

Kuzan is charged with homicide and related offences.

It’s not known if he has a lawyer.
