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.

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.
