Liverpool girl, 2, shot in head with crossbow bolt
A two year-old girl has been shot in the head with a crossbow bolt at a house in Liverpool.
The child was hurt at a home on Oakhouse Park in the Walton area of the city on Tuesday afternoon when a "crossbow was discharged", police said. The weapon involved has been seized and was being forensically examined, but no arrests have been made. The girl remains in hospital with a serious head injury, Merseyside Police added. Det Insp Sabi Kaur said: "I am sure the community in Walton will share our shock and distress at the fact a child could have been hurt in this way. "Our inquiries are at a very early stage and we are still trying to establish the full facts, but we know it was an isolated incident." "This incident shows the obvious dangers posed by [weapons] stored in Merseyside."
