The hunter drew his bow and shot at the man, hitting him in the hip and buttocks area.
The man jumped from the vehicle and ran across the 9500 block of East Mount Houston Road in northeast Harris County. Passing motorists saw him run into a field and collapse, detectives said.

The thief was sitting in the car, just moments away from leaving with it, when the hunter found him. How can he be about to leave, and pointing a gun at the hunter?
Why is it that the detective mention the thief's car, but never talk about a gun?
I don't know about you, but if I had a bow, and someone was pointing a gun at me, I think he would have the time to shoot me before I do. How could he have the time to draw his bow, and shoot him multiple time?
I think what happened is that the hunter saw the thief in his car, took his bow, and shoot the thief.
But this is just my theory and it is not important.
What is important is that someone killed someone over a car, that's sad. What are we? Animals? Why is it that no one respect life anymore?[/QUOTE]If the hunter saw the thief sitting in his car about to drive off, wouldn't it be hard to hit him in the butt?
If he told him he had a gun and reached in his pocket, the hunter would probably have plenty of time. If he was caught unaware, trying to hotwire the car then the chances are he didn't have the gun in his hand.
If you tell me you have a gun and tell me you're going to kill me and then reach for your pocket, I'm going to do everything I possibly can to keep you from reaching that gun. If your lying to me in order to frighten me, you've made a serious miscalculation if I'm holding a bow, baseball bat, hammer, etc.
If your theory is true, it's murder over a vehicle, if what the hunter says is true it's self defense.
