Sheriff: Louisiana man shot child playing hide and seek:

Investigators learned that several children were playing hide and seek in the Starks neighborhood and were hiding on the neighbor’s property.

David Doyle, 58, told detectives that he got his gun when he saw shadows outside his home and shot at people he saw running away, unknowingly hitting the girl, officials said.

Firearms have only one purpose. If you discharge one intentionally, at something person shaped, it should be charged as attempted murder, period.
