A suspect is still at large after shooting three people, including a 6-year-old girl, when children went to retrieve a basketball that rolled into his yard.
A 6-year-old girl and her father were shot in Gaston County, North Carolina.
Police have issued warrants for the suspect for attempted murder and other charges.
The shooting happened after the basketball rolled into the neighbor’s yard and children went to retrieve it.
A 6-year-old North Carolina girl is one of the victims in a shooting on Tuesday after a basketball rolled into a neighbor’s yard.
When the children playing with the ball went to retrieve it, the neighbor allegedly went inside, grabbed a gun, and returned, opening fire on the children, according to a report by Charlotte-based news station WBTV.
The unprecedented shooting comes a week after other young people were injured nationwide for innocent actions. On April 13, Kansas City, Missouri, teenager Ralph Yarl was shot in the head after going to the wrong house to pick up his younger siblings. Two days later, four friends pulled into the wrong driveway in New York, and the homeowner shot at the vehicle, killing 20-year-old Kaylin Gillis.
