ARCHIVO DEL MIAMI HERALD A 14-year-old was shot in the head as she played hide and seek, Louisiana deputies say. Now a neighbor is facing multiple charges. David V. Doyle, 58, was arrested Sunday, May 7, after the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office said he opened fire on a group of kids playing on his property and “unknowingly hit the girl.” Deputies were called about a shooting at a home in Starks early that morning, authorities wrote in a news release. They arrived to find a teen who was shot in the back of the head. Several kids were playing in the area and used a neighbor’s property to hide, according to the sheriff’s office. The property owner, identified as Doyle, told deputies he went inside and grabbed his gun after he saw shadows outside his home, the release said. Doyle said when he went back outside, he saw several people running from his property and opened fire. He was arrested and charged with aggravated battery, four counts of aggravated assault with a firearm and illegal discharge of a firearm, deputies said. Doyle remained in jail as of May 8, online records show. The girl, who wasn’t publicly identified, was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to deputies. GUN VIOLENCE IN U.S. Thousands of people in the U.S. die from firearm-related injuries every year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “In 2020, there were 45,222 firearm-related deaths in the United States – that’s about 124 people dying from a firearm-related injury each day,” officials said. That same year, gun-related injuries were among the leading causes of death in people ages 1 to 44 in the U.S., the CDC said. Authorities said the Louisiana shooting remains under investigation. Starks is about 155 miles west of Baton Rouge.
Just curious, but how do you get shot in the head and then treated for "non-life threatening" injuries?
hard to claim self defense when kids were running away from your property.... I swear we have the stupidest gun owners in the world on average. No wonder we have so many accidents.
And the dumb ass admitted it.My attorney told me if I ever shot somebody don't say a fucking thing until he gets there.
How do you know he's a Maga considering in that county of Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana ??? Biden won 39% of the vote in Louisiana. Also, in the link you posted, there is nothing written about anything to associate the crazy shooter with any political party. Simply, there's a possibility that he could be one of the 39% that voted for Biden. Seriously, is he a Maga because of the state election results, county election results or do we know something about his voter registration ??? I see too many threads about a Magatard shooting and there's nothing related to any maga supporter. In contrast, there has been other threads where the police, friends or family members clearly state there's a link between a Maga supporter, a racist, hate extremist group to the shooter. In other words, is your thread title an "educated guess" because of the vote count in Louisiana: Trump won 7 to 3 (Biden) ??? If so, you're aware that there are Democrats in Louisiana that have for fact...shot/killed a teenager on their property because they thought the teenager was trespassing or they felt threatened. P.S. As a kid, a neighbor shot a teenager (teen survived) on his property in Kentucky. Yet, the neighbor was a strong Democratic supporter / veteran / white although he was at political odds with my old man (a Republican / active duty / Indigenous)...this is the motive behind my questions above. Kentucky is a red state. Would that neighbor today be considered a Maga because Kentucky is a red state ??? wrbtrader
Imagine how frightened he'd be without his gun, he'd sic guard dogs on those children. He'd call 911, mistaking sounds and shadows for a home invasion so the police shoot to kill.
