TAMPA, Fla. — The search for a North Carolina man accused of shooting three people, including an 6-year-old girl, ended Thursday night in Tampa. 

According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, deputies arrested 24-year-old Robert Singletary Thursday night. He was being held without bail on a fugitive warrant. He’s scheduled to appear in court Friday.

Gaston County (N.C.) Police Chief Stephen Zill said at a news conference Wednesday that his department and the U.S. Marshals Service’s Regional Fugitive Task Force had been conducting a broad search for Singletary, who fled after the Tuesday night shootings near Gastonia, just west of Charlotte.

He’s accused of wounding a 6-year-old girl and her parents after children went to retrieve a basketball that had rolled into his yard. 

Singletary is facing four counts of attempted first-degree murder, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon with the intent to kill inflicting serious injury, and one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm.

Zill declined to say what sparked the attack, explaining that the investigation was ongoing.

However, neighbor Jonathan Robertson said Singletary had yelled at the children on several occasions since moving to the neighborhood.  Once the children went to retrieve the basketball that rolled into his yard, he went inside his home and came back out with a gun and began shooting, as parents frantically tried to get their kids to safety.

"As soon as I saw him coming out shooting, I was hollering at everybody to get down and get inside," Robertson said.

Kinsley White, 6, was grazed by a bullet in the left cheek and was released after being treated at a hospital, she and her family said. Her father, Jamie White, who had run to her aid, was shot in the back. He remained hospitalized Thursday with serious wounds, including liver damage, according to Kinsley’s grandfather and neighbor, Carl Hilderbrand. The girl’s mother, Ashley Hilderbrand, was grazed on the elbow. Authorities say Singletary also shot at another man but missed.

"It was very scary," Ashley Hilderbrand said Wednesday. "My daughter actually got to come home last night. She just had a bullet fragment in her cheek."
