I suspected as much or similar.....

God rest her soul. What she must have thought in her final moments.

Very sad indeed....

The media is still bent on reporting that the victims were shot. I heard it from a newscaster again this morning....I guess a stabbing isn't as sensational !

I have said many times "that the media is the base of a lot of problems , as they are great at distorting actual facts " , and as you have said , to sensationalize the news.

I listened to a newscast yesterday, it appeared that the police are in fact leaning towards the crossbow shooting one bolt, and the other victims were possibly stabbed with another bolt.

Why would they say that when according to this released by police; [COLOR=#333333]Police allege Ryan strangled his mother Susan Ryan, 66, with a ligature.[COLOR=#333333]His brothers, Alexander, 29, and Chris, 42, died of neck wounds from a crossbow bolt or arrowhead, according to autopsy results released by the police Monday.

Again is it the news media distorting facts ?

Over the years , I have been involved with the news media and their reporting , Give them a statement and when you see it in the newspaper , you wonder where that came from , as it is not what you have originally said to that reporter.
They take what you have said, distort it , take statements out of context , print them, to sway people in believing things "their way" . When they are done it makes you wonder why you have even spoken with them .

Haha, very true. I recall seeing the story about the strangling as well.

It kind of reminds of the events in a song my father use to sing to us, called, "The Pictures From Life's Other Side," I think it was an old Hank Williams song.


You don't stop hunting because you grow old. You grow old because you stop hunting.

My guess is the crossbow wasn't even used. Likely stabbed them with a bolt. Very easy to differentiate between a stab and a shot. But like already said a "crossbow" is sexier.
