Shot with a knife? (4)
I believe the answer is:
stab
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'shot' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'a knife?' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
'with' is the link.
(Other definitions for stab that I've seen before include "Sudden sharp feeling" , "Inflict wound with knife" , "shot in the dark?" , "Puncture" , "Thrust (weapon into)" .)
