what the heck?? Who does this?

Police and U.S. Marshals are searching for a man who allegedly shot 6-year-old Kinsley White and her parents after a basketball rolled into his yard in North Carolina this week.

Witnesses at the scene said Singletary, 24, became angry when the ball went into his yard.
6-Year-Old Girl and Her Parents Shot After a Basketball Rolls into Their Neighbor's Yard

The man accused of shooting a North Carolina 6-year-old and her parents after a basketball rolled into his yard was previously arrested for allegedly attacking his girlfriend with a mini-sledgehammer.

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.”

I was trying to see if he was ever arrested for the assault. And sure enough. Arrested and released! A safe and speedy recovery for all involved. He needs to be found soon and taken off thr streets!

Wow. People have truly lost all capacity for reason/rational thought. RLS was upset because a ball rolled into his yard, and shot the child/parents?! WTF?! Sickening.

AFAIC, this is just as bad as the case where RF was recently shot for knocking on the wrong door.

In both of these cases, the perps. need to be put in prison for life.

This whole country needs anger management classes.

IIRC he had a decent bail amount of $250,000.
