This was an unspeakable and tragic crime his family wiped out in a senseless triple homicide...

Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers 😢

What happens when defending yourself is basically a crime.

Did the killer have a semi-auto crossbow? If not, how long does it take to reload? I’m not being facetious. I’m just saying I’d be doing something during the reloading interval.

Watch. The UK will now ban crossbows. Maybe even bows and arrows.

In the USA the media is considered to be the enemy within. How is it recognized in Great Britain?

The perp "Kyle Clifford."

This is his brother "Bradley Clifford" serving a life sentence for a 2017 murder.

Just two good English boys.

Crossbows were banned in Europe back in 1139AD.

The Second Council of the Lateran in 1139 was a ban on using missile troops against Christians. Specifically, Canon 29 states that:

We prohibit under anathema that murderous art of crossbowmen and archers, which is hateful to God, to be employed against Christians and Catholics from now on.

Papal Encyclicals Online

And as with most weapons bans even today, it was ignored. Many US states used to have bans against crossbows till hunting with one was revived in Huntsville Ar in the 1950s.

There are reports that the victims got two calls out while this was going on.

If those reports are true, what did LE know and when did it know it.

And what did it do...

How sad. I have to wonder if the killer personally knew all or one of the victims and if the motive was close to home.

I wonder if the suspect attempted to kill himself. From a related article:

Kyle Clifford, 26, from Enfield in north London, was arrested on Thursday evening on suspicion of three counts of murder.

He was found wounded in a cemetery in Enfield on Wednesday and remained in hospital in a serious condition, police said.
