LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS: 'Cheer' star Cassadee Dunlap's father was left battling for his life after he was shot multiple times after he entered a wrong apartment in Little Rock, Arkansas. The OTT star has not publicly commented on this incident yet but the identification has confirmed that it is, in fact, Dunlap's father, Ronald Dunlap. The homeowner fired shots out of fear which left Ronald in a tricky condition.
Local TV channel KATV reports that after Dunlap entered apartment 12 D, Joshua Womack's place, and not 15 C, Womack fired multiple rounds at the man. The incident took place around 3.12 am on Saturday, September 10 at Canopy Apartments. Womack explained that he was fast asleep when he heard banging on the door. He then "woke up and grabbed his firearm" and fired five or six rounds at Dunlap. When the law enforcement officials arrived, they found the victim "lying face down on the ground outside of Womack’s apartment." The 49-year-old man was somehow saved by the officials on the spot and then transported to the Baptist hospital where he lays in a questionable condition.
