Deputy and firefighter nearly shot by arrow while arresting drunk

[Lefty48197]

I know bows aren't guns, but they are classified as firearms, just like guns.

This is a strange story. The arrow shot was obviously not an accident, since it happened at about 10 p.m., long after our approximate 5 p.m. December sunsets here in Michigan. No way was this merely a stray hunting arrow. I'm quite sure hunting isn't allowed near that intersection anyways, even if the sun hadn't set five hours prior to the attack.

I believe one of two different scenarios happened:
1) The assailant just happened to see the cop making the arrest, and decided that would be a good time to randomly murder a cop or fire fighter. Or...
2) The assailant knew the guy being arrested, and was thinking he could help his buddy escape.
