“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. … According to the Times Herald, in 2017 over 200,000 Michigan deer hunters used crossbows. They were nearly 15% more accurate than traditional firearm hunters that year as they killed over 90,000 deer that season, a quarter of all deer taken that year.” (10/09/24)
