The parents of a 9-year-old Minnesota boy say it’s a miracle their son survived falling face-first onto an arrow when he slipped on some ice in their driveway. Gus Deterding, 9, was helping pack his dad’s truck for a hunting trip in March when he slipped on some ice on the driveway. He was carrying a lot of stuff at the time, including a youth bow and arrow. When Gus fell, that arrow entered his head just beside his nose.
