NCSO first responded Tuesday night to Ratliff Road near Woodbridge Drive after getting reports that a person had been shot.
A 911 caller told the dispatcher that the person was shot by her 81-year-old father. NCSO said when they arrived, deputies found Hall’s daughter had been shot in the arm and was sitting in front of her vehicle at a former fire station on Ratliff Road.
NCSO found Hall and detained him and deputies later found out that Hall and his daughter got into an argument.

According to Hall’s arrest report, the argument started after the two were talking about “family issues” that happened the day before.
Hall was calling the victim names, according to the report, and she responded by shouting, “Are you serious dad?”
The report said of Hall, “He responded, ‘You won’t raise your voice to me in this house? You stupid (expletive) I’ll kill you.’”

The victim was walking away when she was shot. According to the report, “she said she continued walking away yelling ‘Daddy don’t kill me!’”
She told deputies she had been living at the home for three months and has been Hall’s caretaker, the report said. She also told deputies she has text messages where Hall previously threatened her.
Hall’s daughter was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
