Officials are searching for a man who shot at at least four people, wounding a child and two others near Gastonia, Gaston County Police said Wednesday.
Police identified Robert Louis Singletary, 24, as the shooter, facing murder charges, officials said in a news release.
The shooting happened at the intersection of April Drive and Grier Street just off York Highway Tuesday night.
Police have not released the victims’ names, but WSOC — the Observer’s news partner — identified the three injured people as a 6-year-old girl and her parents. The girl appeared on camera with a stitched cheek Wednesday afternoon.
“Why did you shoot my daddy and me? Why did you shoot a kid’s dad?” she asked.
Her father is still in the hospital with serious injuries, according to WSOC. He was trying to protect his daughter and her mother — who was also grazed by a bullet.

Hate crime! They should charge the white family with forcing that poor reparations deprived ex-slave. Into shooting them
It seems like stories like this are becoming hourly.
One of two things probable:
There are too many guns in the country so decent people should surrender their 2nd amendment rights and go unprotected to political correctness will not be diminished.
Or
A certain element of society, who are the perpetrators, should be stopped from carrying out more carnage. Laws already on the books say they are not entitled to use guns to commit felonies.
Typo.
“so” political correctness....
I’ll go with Door #2.
RE: I’ll go with Door #2.
Couldn’t afford a Miss America runnerup Vanna White lookalike to open door #2 but Whoopi Goldberg did it for some all you can eat vouchers.
This sounds like the hyper-aggressive/paranoid/hostile reaction from somebody ‘tweaking’, or in the middle of getting high from some kind of narcotic.
It may have simply been marijuana, with today’s potency said to be so intense compared to generations ago.
Be a shame if he were killed while resisting arrest. A damn shame....
I’d love to deport this thug and others like him back to Africa where they belong!
Do I have to read the whole article to find out who was murdered?
I read the article and still have no idea. Abysmal journalism.
with today’s potency said to be so intense compared to generations ago.
They have been using that line for at least 30 years.
Reference.
I think it has more to do with mental illness than race. Like the two older white men who shot at strangers last week, I read that this latest one had been known for his odd, hostile behavior. He was one of their neighbors although I don’t think they had ever had any encounters with him before.
At least he’s being charged with murder and not having the authorities just shrug it off the way they usually do.

If accurate, the perp got mad because one of the kids ran onto his property to retrieve a ball.
Why isn’t this national news, eh?
I wonder if the family was (past tense) into the “diversity/vibrancy/inclusion” thingy?
“Why did you shoot my daddy and me? Why did you shoot a kid’s dad?
