Michigan Intruder Shot With a Crossbow During Break In
Jacob Harrison
Most homeowners possess some means of self-defense. Many have a gun, some wield baseball bats and most have a security system. One Michigan homeowner had a crossbow.According to Fox 2 Detroit, two men, one 32-year-old and the other 41-year-old, attempted to break into a home on the 4500 Block of Huron in Frenchtown Township in Monroe County. The younger of the two was shot by one of the two residents with a crossbow.
The younger suspect was taken to a hospital after his injuries required surgery. The older suspect was found nearby sometime later and was arrested.
The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office is still conducting an investigation, however, the sheriff’s office did say the suspects and residents knew each other and the crime appeared to have stemmed from a previous disagreement between the parties involved.

Any port in a storm, and nice shooting.
Be wary of strong drink. It can make you shoot at tax collectors… and miss.

I love it! A crossbow to a ……well, no mention if a gun was involved. And the crossbow “won”.
So would it be right to include it in the 3″ three ring loose leaf binder set of T2NB2AGF? Operative word, “NOT”?
I suspose you could say the guy bolted.
I see what you did there.
Old technology, like old warriors, still can get the job done.
A Crossbow has a few advantages over a gun. Legal in every state, whisper silent, reusable ammo and unlikely to over penetrate. Also the psychological trauma of having an arrow sticking out of your chest or other body part can be stronger than getting shot. Some people get shot and don’t even notice till later, an arrow sticking out of your chest is something you are going to notice and likely have strong feelings about right away.
