They should outlaw the crossbow. I heard they were violent.

My initial thought is that the bolt ricocheted off the ground or something? Or the whole story is BS and the due is making it up to cover up.

Fishy. I mean, it sounds like an excuse to me.

“Yes, I fired it but I was aiming at a skunk, it got away”.

How hopeless must you be to accidentally do this?

Arrow deflection can be pretty drastic (based on childhood lessons learned) so it is greatly amplified with a bolt.

Rule 4. Know your target and what’s behind it. Safety FAILURE.

The only thing that makes this story believable is that it’s coming from NYC.
