SAN DIEGO — A boy was shot in the abdomen by a crossbow bolt Monday after he and another boy were throwing rocks at a passing car in Linda Vista, San Diego police said.

A passenger in a black Toyota RAV4 pulled out a crossbow and fired one bolt before driving away around 2:15 p.m. on Linda Vista Road near Mesa College Drive, said police Officer Dino Delimitros.

The two people in the car were described as Latino males and most likely juveniles. Ages were not released for the boys who had been throwing rocks.

The boy who was shot was taken to Rady Children’s Hospital and suffered injuries that were not considered life threatening, Delimitros said.

Apparently from what I heard, in OK there are very specific laws regarding throwing rocks at vehicles. We have some people that speed through and run stop signs in our neighborhood. One of my neighbors and I were chatting in his driveway and flagged down an officer that was writing tickets left and right. My neighbor had mentioned throwing small rocks, but the officer said don't throw things at cars, but if you do throw something, use anything but rocks.

I think spearing the butthole kid is a bit extreme, but those little bastards shouldn't have been throwing rocks, so I can't say I feel sorry for him. I hope it's a lesson learned by him and his friend(s).

When I was young, my uncle was driving down the interstate and passed under an overpass where a couple of kids were dropping rocks onto cars. One hit his windshield, which shattered it into a million pieces, and some of those pieces found their way into his eye. He almost went blind in one eye because of crap like this.

Because of that, I get paranoid every time I see somebody walking across an overpass as I'm coming up to it.

i once saw 2 people standing on an overpass on a turnpike in a rural area facing me as i approached. i slowed way down, leery of rock chunkers. as i got closer i realized it was 2 girls & they pulled up their shirts & flashed me as i went under the overpass.

guess it was my lucky day...

This is a more dangerous situation than throwing rocks....
