Earlier this week, President Joe Biden let us all know that he’d called the family of Ralph Yarl, the 16-year-old who had gone to the wrong house in Kansas City to pick up his twin brothers and was shot by an 84-year-old. Biden told Yarl he’d be seeing him in the White House when he recovered from his wounds.
Last night, I had a chance to call Ralph Yarl and his family.
No parent should have to worry that their kid will be shot after ringing the wrong doorbell. We've got to keep up the fight against gun violence.
And Ralph, we'll see you in the Oval once you feel better. pic.twitter.com/mPXiM1X6nK

If Biden wants to use instances of kids getting shot to push for gun control, this story has practically fallen into his lap:
A manhunt is currently underway in NC for Robert Singletary, 24

ABC News reports:
A North Carolina man allegedly shot a 6-year-old girl, her parents and an additional neighbor after a basketball rolled into his yard.
Local and federal law are still searching for the suspect, who was also charged with assaulting his girlfriend with a sledgehammer in December.
…
Neighbors told ABC News’ Charlotte affiliate WSOC that the shooting began after a basketball rolled into Singletary’s yard from a group of local children playing basketball in the street. Singletary allegedly fired a gun at a neighbor before approaching a father and son — William and 6-year-old Kinsley White. Both were transported to a local area hospital for treatment.
“Why did you shoot my daddy and me? Why did you shoot a kid’s dad?” Kinsley asked in an emotional interview, stitches visible on her cheek from the bullet fragments that hit her.
…
Family members say William White tried to draw gunfire towards himself to protect his family as Singletary unloaded an entire magazine toward his neighbor. White was shot in the back in his own front yard, according to his partner Ashley Hilderbrand.
“He looked at my husband and my daughter and told them, ‘I’m going to kill you,’” Hilderbrand said.

Oh, and Singletary is a felon, so it was illegal for him to have a gun.
What are the chances Kinsley White will get an invitation to the White House?

Did the family get an invite to the White House? Is Kamala going to visit them?
— ChiefJazzMan (@lots_yah) April 20, 2023
It was an assault basketball, so Kamala will bail him out.
