While it is hard to sympathize with the kid, shooting him with a crossbow is completely excessive and unwarranted. Plus, given how heavy the anti teenager bias is in the media, I really wouldn't be surprised if the actual story is along the lines of "road raging driver tries to run over someone who is crossing the street too slowly, pedestrian throws a rock angrily at the vehicle, someone fires a crossbow back."

There's a few possibilities. Ignoring institutionalized prejudices that would apply to the victim, the most likely one is just that the crossbow was fired from a moving vehicle, and its very unclear who fired it from what specific car.

Oh ok, I can see it.
But then, the article's author should have written "nobody has been arrested YET", because there're two kids throwing stones to a car, and another person firing a weapon from (most believable) that car.
By the way, this reminds me of an episode... 6 or 7 years ago, we went on a school trip to Marseille, in Southern France.
There's a highway that connects the two locations, and many viaducts are on the way.
No problems during our trips, but one week later, the very same coach was hit by a big rock while travelling under one of these viaducts. It was a couple of kids that were "avoiding the boredom", as they said.
Luckily, nobody in the coach got hurt.
Greetings,
Mauro.

Find the people who did this and throw them in jail for attempted murder. Way to downplay the crime media! Wow... 

Then when the kid is healed toss him in juvi for throwing rocks at people's cars. There is an anti-teenager bias for a reason after all. I know, because I was a little turd as a teen.  Smiley

Gross over-reaction on the part of the crossbowman. He needs to be charged with attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, and a number of other felonies.

The 16 year old? Publish his parents' names and place(s) of employment and let them be humilitated for raising such a putz.

That has to be one of the poorer written stories that has been published in a while.  It reads like it was written by one of the teenagers who was trying very hard not to sound like they were doing anything wrong.  Bill

Yeah I am with Bill on this one, definitely not enough details on the story but those kids should definitely find somthing better to do than to vandalize cars.

At least it probably cured the little S.O.B.s of throwing rocks at cars.
