Louisiana girl shot in head while playing hide-and-seek
It is the latest in a string of US shootings seemingly sparked by small incidents.

"David Doyle, 58, is charged with aggravated assault and battery. He told officers he opened fire after seeing "shadows outside his home". It is the latest US shooting sparked by a seemingly trivial misunderstanding. Officers learned that "several juveniles were playing hide and seek in the area and were hiding on the neighbour's property", said a press release from Officers at the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office.
Mr Doyle, "stated he observed shadows outside his home, at which time he went inside and retrieved his firearm," added the press release. "He then advised detectives he went back outside and observed people running away from his property, at which time he began shooting at them and unknowingly hit the girl." Mr Doyle remained in custody on Tuesday, a day after he was arrested and charged."
I think this guy is getting a raw deal. First, let's not refer to these kids as innocent children playing an innocent game of hide and seek. These were nearly fully grown adults, the girl in question was 14...14 yr olds don't play hide and seek. But even if these were 5 or 6 yr olds, the point remains -- they shouldn't have been on his property....He had no way of knowing if they were there to break into his home, murder his family, who knows...what we do know is that this man was frightened and did what he had to do to protect his home.
The only reason he was arrested was to stop the savage darkies from rioting and because of what happened earlier when that thug kid tried to break in a man's house and later claimed he was at the wrong house....The media made that kid to be a victim and these bleeding heart libs turned him into someone to feel sorry for...as if he was a real human being who we should have empathy for......just ridiculous......Maybe if parents teach their kids to stay off other people's property, they won't get shot.....
Reminds me of another viral story about someone at "iWeathernet.com" threatening to shoot a girl because she knocked on his door looking for her lost cat.....how would he have known what she was there for? Parents need to teach their kids how to keep up with their pets....
