On June 9, a bow and arrow wounding incident in Xi, Shaanxi Province attracted the attention of major media. The cause of the incident was that a man accidentally injured a middle-aged woman who was walking and chatting with others while playing with bows and arrows in an open space in the community, resulting in her face being shot through.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Xi 'an fire alarm phone rang, and a patient in Xijing Hospital needed treatment because he was shot in the face with a bow and arrow. When firefighters arrived at the scene, they learned that a woman in her 60s had been shot through her left face with a bow and arrow, right next to her left eye. The bow and arrow is about 80 cm long and has a diameter of 1 cm. The arrow on her face is too long to do CT, and the hospital can't help it. So I asked the firemen for help. ...
On the morning of June 13, the hospital learned about the treatment of women. The injured woman's eyes were not serious, so she was given general anesthesia. The operation was successful, and there was no bleeding that the doctor was afraid of. The woman's health has been guaranteed and she is being treated in the hospital.
After the investigation, it was found that on the afternoon of June 9, the man missed the target while practicing archery in the open space of the community, and the arrow he shot bounced off the wall. At that time, the woman was walking and chatting with others, and she was at a distance from the target. That man doesn't care. After the woman was shot in the face with an arrow, she kept burying her face in pain, shouting pain, and was taken to the hospital. People who practice archery are scared to death. I didn't expect such an accident. On the night of the incident, the police intervened in the investigation. The man is about forty years old. He rented a house in a residential area and bought a recurve bow bow and arrow online. It is an exercise device and does not belong to the controlled equipment. Men think this is a safety hobby. I didn't think it was anything dangerous at all, and now I have paid the woman's medical expenses. At present, the man has been detained on suspicion of endangering public safety in a dangerous way.
The man put an arrow on the open space of the community and accidentally injured others. He didn't care. Now he has hurt others by mistake. It can be said that he has violated the criminal law and is suspected of endangering public safety in other dangerous ways.
According to the provisions of the Criminal Law, those who endanger public security by other dangerous methods, but have not caused serious consequences, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than 10 years, and those who cause serious injuries, death or heavy losses to public or private property shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 10 years, life imprisonment or death. As far as this case is concerned, the man's behavior also caused accidental injury to others and should also bear the corresponding liability for compensation.
Crossbow is a kind of lethal equipment, which belongs to the state's strict control items. The Notice of the Ministry of Public Security on Further Strengthening the Public Security Management of Crossbows stipulates that crossbow production enterprises can only sell to approved users, and it is strictly forbidden to sell to individuals. Bow and arrow equipment (recurve bow, compound bow) is not mechanical equipment and does not belong to the management category of public security organs, but mechanical bow and arrow equipment belongs to dangerous goods, so it is best not to buy it to prevent accidental injury to others.
The public security organs particularly emphasized that although non-mechanical bow and arrow equipment is not a controlled item, it is still dangerous. It is suggested that the public security and market supervision departments standardize the production, sale and use of non-mechanical bows and arrows, strengthen the training and education of buyers, and avoid such incidents from happening again.
