Katarina Rukavishnikova, owner of Birds by Joe 2 in New Jersey, was shot in the face with a crossbow by a repeat customer, Raymond Carey. After the attack, Rukavishnikova was hospitalized but quickly returned to work. Despite experiencing a recent robbery where her $7,000 parrot was stolen, she indicated that this incident was unrelated to the theft, revealing that Carey shot her without warning. Authorities quickly apprehended Carey and charged him with attempted murder, reflecting the serious nature of the assault.
He's a repeat customer. He shot me without any warning. He didn't say anything. When I got close to him, I saw the crossbow. And he shot me in the face with an arrow.
The Jan. 23 robbery kicked it off. That day, a wildly brazen thief snatched a coveted African Grey parrot worth about $7,000.
