Updated 3:27 pm CST, Thursday, February 6, 2020
ADAMS, Mass. (AP) A man was shot and killed in his apartment by a crossbow bolt that a neighbor had fired at dogs who were attacking the man, authorities in Massachusetts said.
The death Wednesday afternoon in Adams appears to be accidental, according to Berkshire District Attorney Andrea Harrington.
The neighbor heard a commotion and the victim, who was a friend, shouting for help just after noon, authorities said.
The neighbor made his way into the apartment, then returned to his own unit to get the crossbow, which he was licensed to own and used for hunting, Harrington said at a news conference Thursday.
