A 6-year-old girl and her parents were shot Tuesday night in Gastonia, North Carolina. Local reporters learned it all happened over a basketball that rolled into the suspect’s yard. Via WOSC-TV:

Neighbors said several young children were playing basketball when the ball rolled down the street and into Robert Singletary’s yard. They said Singletary got mad and ran down the street, firing a gun at a neighbor.

They said Singletary then came back, shooting at William White as White ran with his 6-year-old daughter, Kinsley.

Kinsley and her father were seriously hurt. Her mother, Ashley Hilderbrand, was grazed by a bullet and is back home now, but William White is still in the hospital.

The shooter is a convicted felon, already out on bond for attacking a woman with a sledgehammer. Thank God he had a gun to express his emotions!
