GASTON COUNTY, N.C. (WBTV) - A man accused of shooting and wounding three people
in Gaston County earlier this week has turned himself in, officials said.

According to Gaston County Police, 24-year-old Robert Louis Singletary
surrendered to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office in Tampa, Fla. on
Thursday afternoon.

Singletary is accused of firing several shots outside of his home on Grier
Street on Tuesday evening.

A neighbor said the shooting happened after a basketball rolled into
Singletary’s yard. He then allegedly went inside his house, got a gun, and began
firing.



Police said a 6-year-old girl and her father were hit by the gunfire. A woman
was also grazed by a bullet, and another man was shot at but not hit.

Multiple people were injured after they were shot on Grier Street on Tuesday
night in Gaston County.

shooting spree

The young girl sustained a wound to her left cheek, while her father was shot in
the back.



Singletary is accused of already having a history with yelling at kids in the
area, neighbors said.

In December, he allegedly assaulted a woman with a mini-sledgehammer. He was
charged with assault with intent to inflict serious injury, kidnapping and
communicating threats in that incident. He was later released on a $250,000
secured bond.

Gaston County District Attorney Travis Page vowed to make sure justice is served
against Singletary this time around.

“We’ll be damn sure to be loud and clear when this case come to court,” he said
Wednesday. “The people of Gaston County will see and hear our commitment to that
prosecution.”



Multiple local agencies, as well as the U.S. Marshals were involved in the
search.

Singletary is scheduled to appear in court in Hillsborough County on Friday
regarding his extradition to North Carolina.

Gaston County Police said the investigation is ongoing, and anyone with
information should call 704-866-3320.
