"A manhunt is underway for an “armed and dangerous” man accused of shooting several people including a six-year-old girl and her parents, according to the Gaston County Police Department. Robert Louis Singletary, 24, is believed to be responsible for shooting and injuring several people around 7:45 p.m. in the 4700 block of Grier Street near April Drive. Family members tell Queen City News the six-year-old girl, identified as Kinsley White, was released from the hospital overnight and that the violent incident stemmed from a neighbor who was upset that a basketball rolled into his yard.
Kinsley White spoke with Queen City News following the shooting. “He came out with a gun, he started shooting,” she said. “Hope my daddy is okay.” Singletary is described as a 6-foot-2 man with brown eyes and black hair, weighing 223 pounds. In December, Gastonia Police charged Singletary in the brutal assault of his 21-year-old girlfriend with a mini sledgehammer. They also said Singletary kept the victim inside his apartment and did not allow her to leave for over two hours. At that time, the man faced charges of assault with intent to inflict serious injury, kidnapping, and communicating threats. He was in the Gaston County jail on a $250,000 bond."
So this moron was upset that a basketball rolled into his yard and he felt that gave him the right to just shoot at people; including a 6 yr old little girl? What is he going to claim, that he felt threatened? And to make things worse, it seems he was already out on bond for assault and kidnapping -- seems the people he shot would have had more justification to just shoot at him out of fear for their life. How is this not racially motivated? In order to shoot a little child like that; that has to come from a place of evil and hate. The silver lining to all of this is that the little girl was not seriously injured and to date, nobody has died from this.....but the trauma she experienced is going to remain with her for the rest of her life.
