Robert Louis Singletary, 24, is accused of shooting a six-year-old and her parents after children went to retrieve a ball from his garden in North Carolina.
Police said they are searching for Robert Louis Singletary, 24, who fled Gastonia, North Carolina, shortly after the shooting on Tuesday night .
Gaston County Police have not confirmed what sparked the shooting on Tuesday night, but said Singletary should be considered armed and dangerous. A 20-year-old woman was shot dead on Saturday after she drove down the wrong driveway in New York, while a 16-year-old boy in Missouri was shot in the head on Thursday after he rang a doorbell at the wrong address.
“This is a country where over 30 states have a stand your ground law, where your home is deemed your castle and if someone is thought to be entering it you don’t have to back off and give them a chance to answer for themselves, you can just shoot them on sight. Gun violence is the leading cause of death for children in the US since surpassing car accidents in 2020, according to data from the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention.
