Third-Grader Struck by Mystery Arrow While on a Field Trip to UC Berkeley [View all]
Police are still unsure who shot the arrow that struck the leg of an 8-year-old girl while she was playing near the entrance to UC Berkeley's public public science center Tuesday morning.
Nadine Hairston was sliding down a whale sculpture near the Lawrence Hall of Science when she suddenly felt a sting. She looked down at her left leg to find a two-foot crossbow arrow sticking out of her flesh.
"A kid ran up to me and said Nadine was shot with an arrow, which, you know, I thought couldn't possibly be true," said Michael Whiteley, one of the adults chaperoning Nadine's elementary school class on their field trip to the science center.

The leading assertion at the moment is that it likely came from one of the hills in the area after being released by a small-game hunter or a reckless hobbyist.
