Shot wound (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stab

I believe this is a double definition.

'shot' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'wound' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for stab that I've seen before include "Twinge; guess" , "Run through - essay" , "Wound with a dagger" , "Inflict wound with knife" , "Try - skewer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
