Teen girl shoots dad with arrow because he took away her cell phone: cops

No amount of family counseling is going to help here.

A Washington State man had to be airlifted to the hospital after his daughter shot him with a hunting bow because he took away her cell phone, authorities said.

The 15-year-old girl refused to let her father use the phone to call for help Wednesday evening, forcing him to crawl to a neighbor's house for help, KOMO-TV reported.

When officers arrived at the house in Tahuya, Wash. - about 35 miles west of Seattle - the girl fled into the woods with the bow and 35 arrows.

A SWAT team was called in to take her into custody.

Her 35-year-old father was listed in serious condition.

Are the gun control folks now going to go after bows and arrows?

You would have raised your kids better than that, I’m sure.

The answer is no and although you make a very valid point, it wasn’t the point of my comment.

Lovely little darling somebody raised.

I wonder if they realize it now.

This is attempted murder, no doubt, with the fact that after DELIBERATELY shooting her father, she wouldn’t even let him use her cell phone to call for help.

A 15 year old with a hunting bow who knows how to use it and showed a willingness to by shooting and trying to kill her own father.

That warrants a SWAT team, IMO.

If she’s willing to shoot her own father, she won’t stop at anyone else.

Personally, they should leave in the woods (after shutting of her cell phone service) until she comes out cold, dirty and hungry crawling on her hands and knees begging for forgiveness.

Or surround her with speakers blaring Lawrence Welk music until she cries uncle.

Either works for me. I’m worried that a SWAT Team might shoot a neighbor’s dog or some errant camper or woodcutter, so sending them seems a poor choice.

It won’t be pretty if she actually feathers one of those guys from a hidden position and a 15 year old girl might be that bat guano crazy.

“Lovely little darling somebody raised.”

lol....I used to blame the parents too, until my girls became teenagers.

I’m pretty sure my girls would have let me use the phone after they shot me with an arrow.

Unsupervised girls named Brittanee (or any derivation) are always trouble. Or in trouble. Or both.

Not if the phone is his or on his phone plan.

ROTFLMSS — we’re wonderful women, aren’t we?

We’ve cut off our daughter’s internet and cell phone more than once (she’ll be 13 in July)......she quits talking to us. She usually caves and talks to daddy within about 12 hours, with me it’s about 36, give or take a few.

Thankfully she has no experience with bow and arrow -— on the other hand, she’s pretty danged good with a .22........

35 arrows? That makes me quiver...

The score is 1 and 3/4.

Good thing she doesn’t know that we enjoy silence, isn’t it?

My kids don’t do the silent treatment thing. They have a small fit and then forget about it. :)

Second, have you ever seen a broadhead arrow up close & personal?

Yes, often. Hunted whitetail with them last fall, in fact.

I believe that SWAT should be disbanded, or at least used only in hostage situations. I'm tired of seeing stories of a bunch of 'roided up goon military wannabees killing American citizens and getting off scot free.

Once you accept that it is okay to send them after this girl, it becomes easy to justify sending them to terrorize, assault, and murder Jose Gureana with his family present. Then, seal the warrants (if there were any) because these guys "operate" in secret... SO SECRET, in fact, that they hide their faces with balacalavas.

These paramilitary secret police should be used in only the rarest of circumstances, and then only under strict oversight.

I’m thinking my bro-in-law is onto something with his idea of lunar juvenile colonies.

I should be so lucky for silence -— she turns on the one radio station that she knows I can’t stand.

Her fits are not small, but she usually throws it and flees out behind the barn and when she comes back in she’s over it.

Usually I prefer the fits. LOL!
