"the suspect then brandished a crossbow"

https://www.popville.com/2021/12/dc-crossbow-arrest/

From MPD:

“Detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department’s Third District announce an arrest has been made in reference to an Assault with a Dangerous Weapon (Crossbow) offense that occurred on Sunday, December 26, 2021, in the 1900 block of 14th Street, Northwest.

At approximately 12:55 pm, the suspects were inside of a store at the listed location. One of the suspects concealed merchandise in order to steal it. An employee confronted the suspect and the suspect then brandished a crossbow and pointed it in the direction of the employee. Both suspects then fled the scene.

On Monday, December 27, 2021, 26 year-old Isis Jones, of Northwest, DC, was arrested and charged with Assault with a Dangerous Weapon (Crossbow) and Theft Two.”

Are crossbows the new go-to for the crazies? I just saw an article about someone breaking into Windsor Palace to assassinate the Queen with a crossbow.
Is it just the go-to gift for Christmas 2021?

Jones.

People have lost their minds. There has been an increase in armed robberies and shootings this year too.
