A 14-year-old was shot in the head as she played hide and seek, Louisiana deputies say. Now a neighbor is facing multiple charges. David V. Doyle, 58, was arrested Sunday, May 7, after the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office said he opened fire on a group of kids playing on his property and “unknowingly hit the girl.” Deputies were called about a shooting at a home in Starks early that morning, authorities wrote in a news release. They arrived to find a teen who was shot in the back of the head.

Non-life threatening cam be an euphemism for permanent life changing injuries. It does not mean she is going to be ok.

Hopefully we won’t hear from him again.

I shoot my neighbor kids all the time.

With squirt guns. They shoot back.

> “The property owner, identified as Doyle, told deputies he went inside and grabbed his gun after he saw shadows outside his home, the release said.” <

Reasonable.

> “Doyle said when he went back outside, he saw several people running from his property and opened fire.” <

Criminally stupid, and worthy of serious jail time.

I sure miss the old days when you just kicked somebody’s ass. You didn’t think it was necessary or morally right to murder them. I really miss God being in the equation here.

They only do that when the story doesn't fit their agenda.

You are very right that they choose the words for the effect they want.

.........let’s face it, there simply ARE some people too damn dumb to own a gun................!

But, what do you do?

There are 330 million of us.

I pray for the little girl to be ok.

“yes,... playing hide and seek”

“During the early morning hours…”

We can interpret that to mean burglarizing under cover of darkness.

I wonder just how early. 2am? 9am? I notice that there are no clues in the article, which spends more time talking about gun control than the incident.

How big is his property? Is it fenced? How many kids? This is not an accidental wandering of a six year old into an unfenced yard chasing a ball. These are older kids. Playing hide and seek? I certainly have questions.

If those are his words then he just sealed his own fate - “people running from” doesn’t justify a belief that you’re in an immediate threat to your life.

Where do these people come from?

It’s just as likely that this person was a nutcase.

I’m guessing this guy was somewhere between drunk and very drunk.
No excuse, of course.
