The parents should be held liable too for giving him that deadly weapon.

A 13-year-old boy fatally shot a 10-year-old friend with a crossbow and wounded the victim’s younger brother as the boys played in a neighborhood treehouse in Oklahoma on Saturday evening, law enforcement officials said.

Lincoln County Sheriff Charles Dougherty, speaking at a press conference on Monday, said some kind of “disagreement” occurred among the boys just before the weapon went off.

YES...BAN AND DESTROY...wounding or killing animals/people with them sickens me.

Why would he have that in a TREEHOUSE?? Imagine how close he was to the others...

Parents likely purchased this for a 13 yr old kid, or he used one from someone else.

Do you see any problem here???

A crossbow is as lethal as a gun at a close range.
