Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Well, this really sux

A 5-year-old boy is dead after a man in Wilson, North Carolina, reportedly ran up to the child while he was playing in a neighborhood street and fatally shot the child in the head.


What are the details?

According to a report from WRAL-TV, the shooting took place on Sunday.

Cannon Hinnant was playing outside his father's house on the dusky summer evening when their neighbor — 25-year-old Darius N. Sessoms — charged Cannon, produced a handgun, and shot him in the head.

The child's 7-year-old and 8-year-old siblings witnessed the murder.

First responders came to the scene and transported the little boy to Wilson Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

Doris Labrant, a neighbor, said she witnessed Sessoms running up to Cannon, putting the gun to his head, and firing the weapon before fleeing the scene into his own home.



She couldn't believe her eyes.

"My first reaction was he's playing with the kids," she recalled. "For a second I thought, 'That couldn't happen.' People don't run across the street and kill kids."

Labrant said the situation became all too real when she saw the child's father react to the horrific scene.

Authorities took Sessoms into custody on Monday night and charged him with first-degree murder. He is being held in the Wilson County Jail without bond.

Authorities have not yet determined a motive in the shooting, but insisted that the killing wasn't random, as Sessoms was reportedly friendly with Cannon's father.

A GoFundMe page set up to benefit the family has raised at least $5,577 at the time of this reporting.

I would never get over something like that.


Never.

And no excuse could ever be acceptable.

Horrible.

I am praying for this family .
Regardless of what the state chooses to do about this, the Bible clearly gives the Father of the child the right to kill this vile filth. If a trial is necessary, it must be speedy and have complete justice of the family member sending him to hell.
Only good thing is the child is with the Lord awaiting his family some day.

This type of justice prevents this garbage from happening again.

How did that monster survive that day?

This. My boy is 5. It’s to read even. No excuse for it and the father aughta get to decide the outcome.

Unbelievable. These fuggin' groids are out of control. We have LBJ's "Great Society," and every Leftist commie since to thank for these lawless, yard apes.

Lincoln was correct. They all should have been deported back to Africa after the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863.

The Judas Cradle is too good for this fuggin' murdering jigaboo:



Prayers for this poor little feller and his family.

But its not a hate crime ?

Can't imagine he will live long amongst prisoners.

Shank you very much!

No matter how old I get the amount and type of violence people will inflict upon their fellow human still surprises me.

Sad indeed.

We are getting 2% of the real story here.

One of them felons that paid their debt to society and set free. Or not.

Another report I read indicated that the shooting might have been justified. The kid had got on the guy's lawn.

Does N. Carolina have the death penalty ?

Guy would not have lived a full minute after killing my child like that. Depending on how he approached the child, if I was present, he might not have had the opportunity to begin with. Regardless, he would have died immediately after. Find a jury to convict me.

Apparently they do, if you ride a bike on someone else's yard !

Some one needs to Epstein this guy !

He didnt want to pay child support.

The little boy's sister, who witnessed the shooting along with several other neighborhood kids, is one of my wife's students at the local elementary school. He walked right up to the kid and shot him point blank in the head.
Word is that the shooter had dinner with the kid's family two nights before and was over at their house the day prior.

Just for the sake of curiosity, what was the ethnicity of the shooter?


Never mind...I just googled it.....got the answer I expected.

I wonder if they drug tested him. This is so very weird.
