A disturbance between two stepbrothers escalated and turned into one of them shooting the other with a crossbow in east Harris County, authorities said.
Wednesday night's scene is developing in the Crosby area at the 20700 block of Live Oak.
According to Sheriff Ed Gonzalez, the two adult stepbrothers were involved in some kind of disturbance when one shot the other with a crossbow.
The wounded man was taken to the hospital via Life Flight and is said to be critical.
The brother accused of firing the crossbow was detained.
An investigation is underway.
We need more common sense crossbow laws
It’s worth noting this is apparently in Texas; the ABC station is in Houston.
I’d be curious to know what kind of tip was on the arrow.
Some of those broadheads are no joke.
No pictures of the perpetrator and victim. How odd.
Crossbows.
And safer bolts too.
Probably fueled by alchohol.
He made his point...
That’s what I was thinking. Several inches of scalpel sharp edges on those Tips and they often expand upon impact making a large amount of razor sharp cuts.
I have killed dozens of deer with broad heads.
Placed properly they kill in seconds.
