A North Carolina man is currently on the lam following a shooting spree.
He shot at a 6-year-old and her parents.
All because a basketball rolled into his yard.
There have been more than 130 mass shootings in 2023 alone, as per BBC.
Including the one that took place in North Carolina earlier this week.
Prior to the gun attacks, Joe Biden questioned: “When in God’s name are we going to stand up to the gun lobby?”
He said it was time to change the gun laws here in the U.S.
“Why are we willing to live with this carnage?” he added in a speech at the White House.
A question many others have also asked.
The shooter has been named as Robert Louis Singletary.
And he is reportedly still missing.
Prior to the rampage, a basketball had rolled into Singletary’s yard.
He then shot at Kinsley White, her mom Ashley Hilderbrand, and her father, William White.
He was reportedly enraged about the ball, according to WSOC-TV.
William White was critically injured.
While Kinsley White was wounded along with her mother, Ashley Hilderbrand.
Kinsley will reportedly need stitches to her face.
“We don’t even know the man,” Kinsley told WSOC-TV.
”Why did you shoot my daddy and me? Why did you shoot a kid’s dad?”
“He looked at my husband and my daughter and told them, ‘I’m going to kill you,’” a neighbor continued.
Singletary fled the scene and is reportedly still on the run.
He will be charged with four counts of first-degree attempted murder.
Alongside two counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill or inflict serious injury, and one count of possession of a firearm by a felon, Gaston County police said.
They are offering a $1,000 reward for the fugitive.
“I want to say to the people of Gaston County — this sort of violence will not stand,” Police Chief Stephen Zill said.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of those impacted by this tragedy.
We hope all victims make a full recovery.
