Doyle, a 'get off my lawn' kind of guy, it seems, allegedly shot a 14-year-old girl in the back of the head as she was playing hide-and-seek with a group of friends on his property. He told the cops that he had seen "shadows" and I guess he thought that shooting at shadows was okay.
Good news, she lived.
The incident occurred on Sunday morning in Starks, Louisiana, a small border town with Texas.
Detectives concluded that “several juveniles were playing hide and seek in the area and were hiding on the neighbor’s property,” the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.
Doyle told them “he observed shadows outside his home, at which time he went inside and retrieved his firearm,” according to police.
Brilliant!
“He then advised detectives he went back outside and observed people running away from his property, at which time he began shooting at them and unknowingly hit the girl,” the statement says.

If they were running away, why did he shoot at them?
Miraculously, the girl suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was rushed to a local hospital and Doyle was later rushed to the police station.

The girl's family told KPLC-TV that she is recovering well after the horrific ordeal.
The shooting occurred on a dead-end road with only three residents — the idiot suspect, the girl’s family and their relative.
Doyle remained in custody Tuesday at the Calcasieu Correctional Center, with his bond set at $300,000. Remarkably, he doesn't prefer the taste of Tide Pods.
