A 6-year-old girl and her father were seriously injured when a man drew a weapon and opened fire on them after the basketball they were playing with landed in his backyard, near Charlotte, North Carolina. Cnn reports it.

The girl's mother, on the other hand, was only grazed by one of the bullets.

Police are now looking for a 24-year-old Robert Louis Singletary, calling him "armed and dangerous".

It is yet another shocking and dramatic episode linked to the easy possession of firearms in the USA. Only in recent days have two other striking facts been recorded: a young man killed in New York after entering a private driveway by mistake and a girl seriously injured in Texas after entering, again by mistake, the car of a very similar man to his.
