Video shows a hitman trying to kill a woman with a high-powered crossbow hidden inside a box.
The shocking surveillance video was released by Canadian police. It shows a man dressed as a delivery driver and holding a large package. But detectives say he was really a hitman and was ringing the home's doorbell to deliver a fatal attack.
Moments after, a woman answered the door, the two exchanged words and the man fired the crossbow.
Police say inside the cardboard box was a high-powered crossbow holding a razor-sharp big game arrow, designed to bring down and kill elk and moose.

maybe he couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn

I literally fall asleep watching Hogan's Heroes from youtube every night. I think it's because I find the comedy and absurdity of the show relaxing as it offsets the nuttiness of what I see in this world every day.
the truth in those words shows just how bad it is.
She had a high powered crossbow in her box?
That’s what it sounds like to me
“Had a twang to it.”
They’re just stringing you along.
My 92 yr old roommate has watched Hogan’s Heroes since its inception. It gets him through to midnight when he dozes off in his recliner or wakes up and goes to bed. This is a guy with 3 girl friends and a new Mustang who is out and about all day every day from 9 to 9.
Grammerly is like an instagram filter for sentences. Who needs to know how to construct a sentence?
Excellent and useful observation.
Thanks
A blowgun is next ?
bttt
Thank goodness for Canada’s gun control laws.
True.
Some of the most “successful” murderers, in terms of getting away with it, don’t go anywhere near a gun.
It’s hard to kill someone with a gun and make it look like an accidental death, or a suicide. (Depending on other factors, like jurisdiction. I had a cousin murdered some years ago; he was not in his home county and had involvement in drugs. It was easier for local law enforcement to chalk it up to another dead druggie and call it suicide.)
I’ll admit to being a true crime junkie.
One of the most lethal-looking weapons I’ve ever seen was a prison shank. It was probabl 10-13 inches long. It was “manufactured” from a piece of metal window grille. The inmate had removed a piece and replaced it with paper, carefully woven and colored to look like the metal; you’d have to touch the replacement to realize it wasn’t metal. The removed piece had been shaped and sharpend into a very scary-looking large knife.
I was told by the guard that all you need to make a deadly weapon is a piece of metal and some concrete to sharpen it on. Guess what most prisons are built of?
One of my “favorite” crime programs involved a man who persuaded a friend to act as hit man.
The husband let the friend into the house while his wife was at work. When she came home the “killer” was inside waiting for her. I don’t recall how he was going to kill her.
She fought back, hard. They fought to the ground and he ended up underneath her with her arm around his neck. She didn’t let go. At one point she even told him that if he stopped fighting her she’d call 911 for him. He didn’t stop fighting. Until, eventually, he did. She held on until he was dead.
A former cop in Tulsa killed his X-wife with a crossbow many years ago. The olden methods still work.
But, but the pope banned crossbows as being un-Christian centuries ago! How’d that work out for Richard the Lionheart.
Back in 1956, dad bought me a toy crossbow that did just that. it could release two shots! I’ve always had a love for crossbows since even though I don’t have one.
Then, way back in the early 1960s, a Popular Mechanics or Mechanix Illustrated magazine, showed how to make one using surgical tubing instead of a bow.
The late George Stevens, of Huntsville Arkansas, began to re-popularize the banned crossbow back in the 1950s, and in the 1960s designed one that looked super “E-e-e-vil” with a metal stock and a “gasp” pistol grip!
Now they are in all sporting goods stores.

The jokes really do write themselves.
““High powered” crossbow preferred weapon of gang bangers...”
Yeah but when you hold your crossbow sideways it is just a ‘bow’.
