A man in Louisiana shot a 14-year-old girl in the back of the head as she played hide-and-seek on his land.
In a news release, the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office said that David V. Doyle, age 58, was arrested and charged with four counts of aggravated assault with a firearm, aggravated battery, and illegal discharge of a firearm.
The sheriff’s office said that deputies went to a home in Starks, Louisiana, early on May 7 after hearing about a shooting. They found a 14-year-old girl with a gunshot wound to the back of her head.
The girl and some of her friends were playing hide-and-seek in the area, and the sheriff’s office said she was hiding on Doyle’s land. Doyle told the police that he “saw shadows outside his house” and then went inside to get a gun.
