The one woman shot the other in the head, and the bullet ricocheted?

Also, just to clarify: only one gun was fired, right, on purpose or not? I just want to rule out that the second gun went off at all.

I can soar like an eagle.
I can sink like a weight.
I am all that is left
Of one who was great.
What am I?

Uh, could be farther, but still no. 'S another intangible entirely.

Another word, anyway. Made it myself, so there's no accounting for quality or clarity.

...Good gods, I hadn't realized I made it this versatile. Just about Any one of these would be a valid answer.

Hint: the third line uses a different meaning of the word than the first two.

Swords neither soar nor si—well, okay, they sink... Less literal. Intangible, remember—oh, forgot, that's a vocabulary word... It's one of those untouchable things that people tend to make riddles about. Frankly, I'd be rather surprised if somebody else somewhere hadn't thought up this riddle before I did.

We're just going to work our way down the whole dictionary before somebody gets this, aren't we?

I meant including P, oh nevermind.

Actually, I thought of another line I could add to the poem itslef that would help seperate the answer. The third clue is good too, though, and I'd have to mess around with the rhyme scheme...

An anchor thrown off the port side of the Titanic!

see, the anchor's thrown, and then it sinks... and the port side is the left side...and there's nothing left of the Titanic...never mind

^^Okay, I gotta say, that made me laugh.
^No, sorry.

I don't know if this'll make it too easy, but here's what I came up with:

I can soar like an eagle. 
I can sink like a weight. 
I am all that is left 
Of one who was great. 
I may be the essence of a beast or a bird,
And to some, I am also a holy third.

Five bucks says alexa gets it.
