How on earth do you accidentally kill three people with a crossbow?

I guess experience has taught LEOs that being publicly wrong about pretty much anything is a career ender.

That goes double for ascribing motives to a crime before the investigation is complete.

Look at the case of Chief Moose. Even his melanin privilege wasn't enough to save him, although I think it did allow him to retire voluntarily.

I agree, all crossbows must be registered, have a ten day waiting period and have small crossbow magazines.

This has nothing whatsoever to do with Islam which is a religion of peace.

I’m impressed that at least one journalist knows that crossbows fire bolts and not arrows.

How on earth do you accidentally kill three people with a crossbow? I don’t think it can be done.

It’s a horrific story, but I still can’t resist the urge to snark about the use of the word “apparent” in the headline. You’d think it’s indisputable.
