6-year-old girl & her parents shot after basketball rolls into neighbors North Carolina yard.
Kinsley White was wounded along with her mother Ashley Hilderbrand and father William White when a gunman opened fire at around 8 p.m. in Gaston County after he became enraged about the bouncing ball, according to WSOC-TV.
White was critically injured attempting to protect his daughter.
Neighbors told the station a group of kids was playing basketball when the ball bounced into the alleged gunman’s yard. Suspected shooter Robert Louis Singletary grew angry and ran down the street as he fired at a neighbor, they reportedly said.
Then he came back and began shooting at the family, including the young daughter who needed stitches on her face from bullet fragments, WSOC-TV reported.
Authorities are still searching for the 24-year-old suspect, Robert Louis Singletary, of Gastonia, who is wanted on four counts of attempted first-degree murder, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury and one count of possession of a firearm by a felon, according to Gaston County Police Department (GCPD).
The neighbor was upset about the basketball rolling into his yard, family members told Queen City News. “He came out with a gun, he started shooting,” victim Kinsley White told the news outlet. “Hope my daddy is OK.”
There was no new information as of 10 p.m. Wednesday, Adam Gaub, communications director for GCPD, told Newsweek in an email.
