The resident, acting in self-defense within his own home, shot an intruder.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He did not use a gun though. The Michigan resident shot the intruder with a crossbow.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Police received a 911 call and reported on the scene at 12:30 a.m. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tv20detroit.com\/news\/suspect-shot-with-crossbow-during-home-invasion-in-monroe-county\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"man-shoots-home-intruder-with-crossbow\" title=\"Man Shoots Home Intruder With Crossbow\"><em>WMYD Detroit<\/em><\/a> reported that the intruders fled, but police found them quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-suspects\">The Suspects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Police took the 32-year-old suspect with an arrow still embedded to a hospital.

We know this is a case of self-defense. Other than that, police have not released many details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And second, this self-defense case is one where shooting happened, but not with a gun.

It would not be my first thought.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This resident might not have owned a gun, or might not have been close enough to one.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-application\">Application<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We like to repeat the importance of owning a gun because guns are incredibly effective.
