Laura Sugden, who survived a horrific crossbow attack that killed her partner Shane Gilmer while she was pregnant, is calling for tougher crossbow laws. The demand comes after the recent murder of BBC commentator John Hunt's wife and daughters. Sugden's traumatic experience fuels her advocacy against crossbows, stressing that the horror she faced is not isolated. Her brave attempts to prevent future tragedies highlight the urgent need for lawful measures to restrict dangerous access to such weapons, particularly in light of more violent incidents.
"It made me extremely angry and frustrated... when I'm trying to do something preventing absolute morons getting their hands on something like that and it's still happening."
"I can put myself in those women's [shoes]... when someone is with that in front of them, it's the scariest thing ever."
