Two women injured in attack involving crossbow in Headingley, Leeds

Quote:
A man has been arrested and counter-terrorism police are investigating after two women were seriously injured in an attack involving a crossbow and a firearm in Leeds.
Three people were found injured and taken to hospital - including the suspected attacker - in Otley Road, in the Headingley area, at 14:47 BST.
A 38-year-old man who suffered a "self-inflicted injury" was arrested and two weapons - a crossbow and a firearm - were recovered from the scene.
Counter Terrorism Policing North East said it had taken over the investigation from West Yorkshire Police and an extensive cordon remained in place in the Otley Road area.

Thank heavens it wasn't more, as that stretch of road is part of the "Otley Run", where hundreds of students go in groups in fancy dress, to have a drink in each of the pubs.

Re: Two women injured in attack involving crossbow in Headingley, Leeds
I'm wondering how many nutcases are out in the wild with crossbows let alone with firearms? It's quite worrying.

Any person over 18 can buy a crossbow and that firearm looked like an air riffle to me
