The bolt struck local archers and a boy scout troop in New Jersey, killing one man and injuring 13 other people. Friends of the victims said the strike had come out of nowhere.
David Robinson, New Jersey’s state climatologist, said Wednesday’s lightning strike that killed one person and injured 14 others was a rare occurrence. The strike at the Black Knights Bow Benders Archery Range in Jackson killed Robert Montgomery, 61 of Cinnaminson, and injured over a dozen Cub Scouts, one as young as 7.
