Suspect Robert Louis Singletary, 24, should be considered armed and dangerous, Gaston County police said. Kids had been “playing basketball, and a ball had rolled down that way and had rolled into their yard and they went to go get it,” neighbor Jonathan Robertson told CNN affiliate WBTV. “I mean, that was insane.”Police would not confirm what started the Tuesday night shooting in Gastonia, citing the investigation. The United States is the only nation with more civilian guns than people, according to the Small Arms Survey. In the Gastonia attack, “one adult victim … remains hospitalized in Charlotte,” Police Chief Stephen Zill, said Wednesday evening in a statement.
