Girl, 6, shot after basketball rolls into neighbor’s yard in North Carolina

GASTONIA, N.C. (WJZY) – A manhunt is underway in North Carolina for a man accused of shooting his neighbors, one of whom is a 6-year-old girl.

Robert Louis Singletary, 24, is believed to be responsible for shooting and injuring several people around 7:45 p.m. Tuesday, according to the Gaston County Police Department. He should be considered “armed and dangerous,” the department said.

The mother of the 6-year-old victim told Nexstar’s WJZY that the suspect started shooting after a child walked into his yard to retrieve a basketball that a group of kids had been playing with nearby.

“I heard the ‘pow, pow, pow, pow,’ and I thought it was fireworks,” said Ashley Hilderbrand, the mother of a shooting victim. “Then I heard the ‘pow, pow, pow,’ and everybody started yelling, ‘Get in the house!'”

Hilderbrand’s daughter Kinsley White was struck in the cheek, and White’s father William was shot multiple times.

“And when [William] went to the ground, the guy continued to shoot,” Hilderbrand said. “He didn’t care who he shot, who he killed.”

Impossible.  Everybody knows black thugs cannot be racists.

I'm shocked they released the identity of the shooter so soon.  I thought the standard policy was to wait 3 4 days and then with or without a mug shot.

Police Say North Carolina Man Shot 6-Year-Old Girl and Her Family After Basketball Rolled into His Yard –Suspect Reportedly Remains at Large
By Cullen Linebarger Apr. 20, 2023 11:00 am219 Comments
 
WSOC-TV in North Carolina reported that a 6-year-old child and her parents were shot Tuesday night.

24-year-old Robert Singletary, the man allegedly responsible for the shooting, was furious a basketball happened to roll into his yard while young children were playing.

Police say Singletary ran down the street and fired his gun at a neighbor. Singletary then allegedly returned and shot William White and his 6-year-old daughter Kinsley while they were running away.

Kinsley and her dad were seriously injured from the gunfire. The little girl was left with bullet fragments in her cheek while William remains in the hospital.

Hate to say it, but this was black-on-white crime, so nothing to see here.

Exactly.  Much more prevalent than White-on-black crime, but much less newsworthy, too.

Robert Singletary, of Gastonia, North Carolina, was wanted for 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.

Singletary was taken into custody in Tampa, Florida, at about 4:45 p.m. Thursday, according to the Gaston County Police Department, which added that he did not have any identification on him. Singletary will be extradited to Gaston County, North Carolina, and have a court appearance on Friday. ...

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

@mountaineer

YIKES,all those people shot,and none of them died!

The goober that shot them is VERY lucky. Yeah,he WILL be going to prison for multiple attempted murders,but since nobody died,there is a 1 in a thousand chance he might come up for parole one day.

Yeah,not much of a chance,but better than no chance at all if you are him.

The identity came out because he hadn't been found yet. So he was a suspect at the time and the police needed help finding him.
