TORONTO – A Canadian man was charged with first-degree murder Friday for allegedly fatally shooting a man in the back with a crossbow in a busy Toronto library filled with mothers and children, police said Friday.

Zhou Fang, 24, appeared in court to face the murder charge a day after Si Cheng, 52, was killed in the library about an hour after a nearby school let out for the day. The judge ordered that Fang be held without bail.

I used to shoot crossbows before the pain.in.the.ass factor of having something nearly 2.5 feet wide and just as long that takes a bit of time and effort to use got to me.

Which makes me wonder ... dude walking around the streets with a crossbow - hardly an easily concealable weapon like a firearm. Dude (presumably) cocks and loads the bow INSIDE a public building , points it at some one from behind. Unless it was one of those puny midget bows that would take a fairly lucky shot at close range to really kill someone in the modern medicine days. Still. Raises the question.

Are there no men in that city ?
