#3 More from the article:

The victim was standing near a convenience store when the shooter drove up in a gold minivan and exited the vehicle armed with a "crossbow," according to police.

The suspect allegedly fired the weapon and struck the victim in the chest. The victim did not cooperate with investigators, but was conscious when taken to a hospital, according to police.
