As if people couldn’t get any crazier this happens.
The Cincinnati police arrested Daniel Fisher for shooting a reporter from a local Fox affiliate with a bow and arrow.
The reporter Jody Barr was shot in the leg with the bow and arrow after finishing a tv report.
Barr mentioned to police that he had noticed and recorded Fisher on his way to set, before he later turned around to begin the shoot.
Rawstory also shared Barr’s statement on what happened that day.
“I was walking back to my news car after I finished a shoot when I stepped up on the curb and I heard the sound of an aluminum arrow hit the concrete,” Barr said. “It bounced off my right leg and landed in the grass beside the sidewalk. As soon as I heard the ‘tink’ I knew exactly what it was. It was the same guy in the park soon after I first arrived walking around Westwood with a compound bow.”
Mr. Barr said out of all things that have happened to him as a reporter, this experience was definitely a first, and hopefully last.
There were no serious injuries reported, and Barr was issued a court date on Wednesday.
I know next time this news reporter along with other will take more precautions to remain safe on set.
