“Bolt was not at the scene, but it was obviously self inflicted!!”
That kind of situation?

Technically, the arrow killed him; the crossbow was the propellant. Of course, that would also mean that all people who are shot to death are actually killed, not by the gun, but by the projectile. </grammarnazi>

A bolt from out of the blue?

“His sister, Kimberly Boysen of Mastic, New York, says her brother owned a cross bow and used it for target shooting”

No mention of possible suicide or of anyone going camping with him. Did the crossbow attack him?

At least he was safe from gun violence.

Not even enough information to jump to conclusions.

Maybe he was hit over the head with a crossbow?

I wonder if he was cocking it with the bolt in place and was pushing down on the slider while the crossbow was pointing up at him - slipped - oops ....

Actujally, he was a thrasher, then a floper.

Was this man linked to the HillaBeast in any way? Arkancides don’t have to be committed in Arkansas.

I’ve often wondered why crossbows aren’t used more in criminal acts. Are they as easy to trace as bullets? I’d think not.
