A woman was shot to death and a man was wounded by an intruder at her home in College Point early Monday morning.
Police from the 109th Precinct in Flushing responded to a 911 call of shots fired at 119-01 14th Rd. at 1:15 a.m., where they found a 32-year-old woman with a gunshot wound to her head and a 49-year-old man with gunshot wounds to his arm and back.
