-- "The use of weapons better known to medieval England in London continues, with a man carrying a crossbow shot dead by police in the early hours of Tuesday morning. The crossbow incident is one of many uses of weapons in London’s ongoing crime crisis, in a city where British law forbids firearms in almost all circumstances but criminals find a way nevertheless." --
How bad is it?
-- "As reported last month, 2023 saw knife crime surge, with over 40 incidents logged by police per day. Gun crime also rose six per cent over the previous year." --
