A manhunt is underway near Charlotte, North Carolina, for a man who reportedly shot and seriously wounded his 6-year-old neighbor and her dad when a basketball rolled into his yard
Robert Louis Singletary, 24, should be considered armed and dangerous, Gaston County Police said. He’s 6-foot-2 and about 223 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair. The shooting began after kids had been “playing basketball, and a ball had rolled down that way and had rolled into the yard and they went to go get it,” neighbor Jonathan Robertson told CNN affiliate WBTV. “We never expected anybody would break a gun out amongst all those kids,” he said. “I mean that was insane.
In the Gaston County shooting, the father – identified by family as William White – was seriously injured and remains hospitalized, police Chief Stephen Zill said Wednesday evening in a statement. The girl and a second adult who was grazed by a bullet have been treated and released, police said. Another man also was shot at but not hurt, police said in a news release. “He is just taking it day by day,” White’s mother, Debbie Wykle White, told CNN over a text message.
