    6-year-old, parents and neighbor shot after basketball rolls into North Carolina man's yard

    A North Carolina man allegedly shot a 6-year-old girl, her parents and an additional neighbor after a basketball rolled into his yard.

    Local and federal law are still searching for the suspect, who was also charged with assaulting his girlfriend with a sledgehammer in December.

    The Gaston County Police Department received a 911 call at 7:44 p.m. on Tuesday about a local shooting. Investigators later determined that 24-year-old Robert Louis Singletary seriously injured one adult male and one juvenile female and that a separate female was grazed by a bullet while a second adult male was shot.

    Neighbors told ABC News' Charlotte affiliate WSOC that the shooting began after a basketball rolled into Singletary’s yard from a group of local children playing basketball in the street. Singletary allegedly fired a gun at a neighbor before approaching a father and son -- William and 6-year-old Kinsley White. Both were transported to a local area hospital for treatment.

    “Why did you shoot my daddy and me? Why did you shoot a kid’s dad?” Kinsley asked in an emotional interview, stitches visible on her cheek from the bullet fragments that hit her.


    Family members say William White tried to draw gunfire towards himself to protect his family as Singletary unloaded an entire magazine toward his neighbor. White was shot in the back in his own front yard, according to his partner Ashley Hilderbrand.

    “He looked at my husband and my daughter and told them, ‘I’m going to kill you,’” Hilderbrand said.

    Gaston County Police have multiple warrants for Singletary’s arrest. He is charged with four counts of attempted murder, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon and one count of possession of a firearm by a felon.

    In December, Singletary was separately charged with assaulting his girlfriend with a mini sledgehammer, leading her to bleed profusely from the back of the head and forcing her inside an apartment for two hours.

    “The victim further stated that Singletary told her that she could not leave until she had cleaned up all the evidence from the assault,” a press release from December read.

    Singletary is still on the loose, with a statewide search now enlisting the U.S. Marshall’s Regional Fugitive Task Force.

    “I want to say to the people of Gaston County -- this sort of violence will not stand,” Gaston County Police Department’s Chief, Stephen M. Zill said.

    The North Carolina shooting follows a string of similar incidents where seemingly ordinary mistakes have led to serious consequences involving firearms. Over the last week, two cheerleaders in Texas were shot after entering the wrong car in a parking lot, a woman in New York was killed after entering the wrong driveway and 16-year-old in Missouri was shot after ringing the doorbell to the wrong home.

    Statistically it's a good bet, as most gun owners are "white", male, and republican.

    And most illegal gun owners are not.

    All those guns came from the legal pool.

    Come to think of it, I'm not sure the claim most illegally possessed firearms are in the hands of non-"white", male republicans is true.

    What is a "legal pool"?
    Citation needed.

    Especially since the evidence of guns being smuggled over the Mexican border in both directions.

    Once a gun is stolen or illegal purchased with intent to move to another state --- it is no longer considered legal.

    I will note that giving 10 year sentences to anyone caught with an illegal gun during the commission of a crime -- does wonders in decreasing gun violence.
