A 14-year-old girl was shot in the back of the head by her neighbour while she and a group of kids played hide and seek in the area and on the neighbour’s property, authorities in Louisiana said Monday.
David V. Doyle, 58, was arrested for the incident and charged with four counts of aggravated assault with a firearm, aggravated battery, and illegal discharge of a firearm, police wrote in a news release.
This is just the latest incident of gun violence that has broken out in the last several weeks, seemingly due to innocuous mistakes.
Deputies with the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to a home in Starks, La., after receiving a 911 call about a shooting early Sunday.
