Overeager Louisiana Homeowner Shoots Neighborhood Child Playing Hide-and-Seek

A 14-year-old girl suffered non-life-threatening injuries after being shot in the back of the head while playing with friends on a neighbor's property.
year-old David V. Doyle claimed he saw shadows outside his home, retrieved his gun, and began firing at people running away from his property.
Doyle was charged with aggravated battery, four counts of aggravated assault with a firearm, and illegal discharge of a firearm.
The incident is the latest in a series of shootings in which U.S. gun owners have fired at young people mistakenly on their property.
Details suggest the property owner acted rashly in an attempt to protect himself without properly assessing the situation.
