A young girl was shot in the face by an angry neighbor after her basketball rolled into the man’s front yard.
6-year-old Kinsley White from Gaston County, North Carolina, was playing with her friends on the street outside her home when their basketball strayed away and rolled into the yard of 24-year-old Robert Louis Singletary.
According to the reports, the infuriated man charged out of his home and opened fire on the children and Kinsley’s parents.
During the confrontation, both parents were grazed or struck by bullets, whereas the young girl ended up with bullet fragments lodged in her cheek.
Before the police arrived at the scene, Singletary fled the scene. He has yet to be found and arrested after being charged with four counts of attempted first-degree murder on top of two counts of assault and possession of a firearm by a felon.
The police have since described the suspect as a 6’2” black man with brown eyes and short black hair. Since he was also described as “armed and dangerous,” locals were warned to stay indoors and remain vigilant.
Recalling the shocking incident, Kinsley’s mother told WSOC that she overheard the neighbor telling her husband, William, and the children that he would kill them before he pulled out his gun and started shooting.
Kinsley’s grandmother, Carolyn Hilderbrand, added: “I believe he would have got me and my husband too. He just run out of bullets.”
Speaking out was also the 6-year-old girl who was left traumatized by the shooting.
“Why did you shoot my daddy and me? Why did you shoot a kid’s dad?” she said. “We don’t even know the man.”
Our thoughts are with Kinsley and the family as the manhunt continues.
