Someone in the SUV fired a crossbow, and an arrow hit one of the boys in the abdomen.

Where did the arrow come from? Crossbows fire bolts.

Seriously...I knew that the lazy MSM would get their terminology wrong but I had to see it for myself.

Crossbows fire bolts.

No. bolts fire bullets

A bolt is just a specific type of arrow.

Or if they're REALLY BIG Roman crossbows, veruta or spiculum.
