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.”
Authorities said the adult victim was rushed to the CaroMont Regional Medical Center with serious injuries. The other shooting victims were later taken to hospitals in Charlotte for further treatment.
“The juvenile that was shot, as well as the second adult that was grazed by a bullet, have been treated and released,” Gaston County Police Chief Stephen M. Zill said Wednesday.

Something in the description is missing. I can't seem to put my finger on it....
This incident is shocking because he seemed like such a nice young man:

In December, Gastonia Police charged Singletary in the brutal assault of his 21-year-old girlfriend with a mini sledgehammer. They also said Singletary kept the victim inside his apartment and did not allow her to leave for over two hours. At that time, the man faced charges of assault with intent to inflict serious injury, kidnapping, and communicating threats. He was in the Gaston County jail on a $250,000 bond.

Rip his nuts off and choke him to death with them while gouging one eye out so he can watch as that eyeball is placed on his chest during his last breath.

Wonder how much coverage this will get compared to the coverage of the teenager that got shot trying to enter the house of an elderly man late at night.

I want to remind the democrats in here, this guy was in illegal possession of a firearm. Go take his guns then come back to us.

The way my work ethic is set up, there is no way I'd allow my family to live even in the same neighborhood as this garbage.

While I agree in principle with the sentiment, I am disturbed by your specificity. The OT is really weird about these torture and death fetishes.

The name and address of the judge who let the animal out of jail in the first place should be in every article like this.

Black on white. This will definitely be the last note on the story.
Edit: thanks for helping a brother out.

Personally, I'm waiting on his invitation to the White house for her and her family.

The headline would be different if the races were reversed.

Typical, violent guy allowed to run amok.
Mass incarceration works. We need to empty out non violent, not property crime offenders and fill it with perps who cannot live in society.

Yep, their crime was living in the wrong place. White flight works.
The only way to keep your family safe.

250k is a fairly steep bond, and bonds have never been punitive... just to insure they show up for court.
