A North Carolina man allegedly shot a 6-year-old girl, her parents and an additional neighbor after a basketball rolled into his yard.

Local and federal law are still searching for the suspect, who was also charged with assaulting his girlfriend with a sledgehammer in December.

The Gaston County Police Department received a 911 call at 7:44 p.m. on Tuesday about a local shooting. Investigators later determined that 24-year-old Robert Louis Singletary seriously injured one adult male and one juvenile female and that a separate female was grazed by a bullet while a second adult male was shot.

Neighbors told ABC News' Charlotte affiliate WSOC that the shooting began after a basketball rolled into Singletary’s yard from a group of local children playing basketball in the street. Singletary allegedly fired a gun at a neighbor before approaching a father and son -- William and 6-year-old Kinsley White. Both were transported to a local area hospital for treatment.

1. that takes get off my lawn to a whole new level.....

But we obviously don't need red flag laws. Just because he tried to kill his gf with a sledgehammer is no reason he can't e a responsible gun nut.

Yes; sarcasm.

2. Saw this mentioned in another story earlier. God. This guy needs to go away

In December, Singletary was separately charged with assaulting his girlfriend with a mini sledgehammer, leading her to bleed profusely from the back of the head and forcing her inside an apartment for two hours.

“The victim further stated that Singletary told her that she could not leave until she had cleaned up all the evidence from the assault,” a press release from December read.

9. My narrative is too many damn guns in the hands of maniacs.

12. gunhumpers are gunhumpers, and shooters are shooters, I dont give a damn what colour they are

Also, if this had a racial hate component, then this POS needs to be charged just like a white on black hate crime would be.

[sarisataka]

14. That is how

It should be. Usually, however, that is not the case.

10. The way things are going in this country with the gun-humpers, this may be a harbinger. nt
