Toronto Police work Friday at the scene of a triple homicide on Lawndale Rd. A triple homicide with a crossbow is practically unheard of. But the rare nature of these attacks makes them high-profile incidents, and the Scarborough triple homicide where a crossbow was located on the scene is once again pushing forward conversations on regulating the weapons. Though police didn’t confirm whether a crossbow was used in Thursday’s attack, which left three people dead, a crossbow was found nearby, and all three victims were struck by crossbow bolts. In 1998, a man was shot in the head with a crossbow in his Hamilton home, but survived.
