I am one of Danna Brooms family members and I am utterly appalled at the thought that the State of North Carolina has not already charged Robert with the attempted murder of the baby. What is this world coming to if a man can shoot a pregnant woman in the abdomen and not be charged? That child was as innocent as Danna and the thought of that man getting away with the attempted murder of the baby is disgusting. I hope your state seriously thinks about these charges and I hope that man spends the rest of his pathetic life in jail!

If you are a family member you would know how to spell her name. Innocent until proven guilty

For one thing, she DID spell her name correctly.

I do know how to spell her name. I just neglected to put an apostrophe in. He will be tried in court. And he will be proven guilty!

This is a shock for all who know this man. He is admired and respected by those who know him and he has had a positive impact on man; adults and children alike. This is a man with no prior record or hx of abuse of any kind. Maybe it REALLY was an accident. He is innocent until proven guilty.

Let's all who know him hope it was because like Shocked wrote, and we all are shocked, he was highly respected and admired in many ways. These accusations are the opposite of the man I knew. The only two articles you can find on the internet are very vague and don't make alot of sense.

I think people who do not know Mr. Broom have no room to speak or make accusations... i can tell you the man impacted my life in a positive manner when i was going through a dark tunnel in life! let the evidence prove what it does, but as far as gossip and slander there is no room for that stuff... I pray for all the families involved. i hope the police have this. if they are right then the law must prevail and he should pay the price for his actions... i respect the man though...

I hope and pray daily for Robert, Danna, and their respective families. This tragedy has produced many saddened hearts within our community. The man accused has had a profoundly positive impact on many individuals - it is an overwhelming reality. I ask all who read this to pray for the victims. Regardless of the facts surrounding the incident, there is an entire family needing our help with prayers and hope for healing.....

If it was an accident, WHY did he wait so long to get help for Danna? Hmmm, and what was he doing out driving and being picked up in the middle of the night when he should be next to his wife while she lies in the hospital with an accidental gun shot wound? Hmmmmmm something to think about.
Alot of crimes are done by people that you would least suspect in doing them... know fact

Confused: I can't help you with the question of the delay in reporting the shooting, but as for why he was picked up in the middle of the night:

Broom was apprehended - without incident - on I-40 W in Alamance county. Since he lives in Mebane it's entirely possible he HAD been at the hospital and was simply driving home. Obviously I don't know any better than anyone besides Broom what he was doing, but what he was doing when he was arrested is hardly evidence that he's guilty of the charges.

Holly, how is Danna and the girls doing? My son has taken martial arts from Robert for the last 5 years. I have noticed a change in Robert for the last year but could not forsee this event. There are so many unanswered questions to this and it has been very hard to understand. Prayers to your family and thanks for sharing your thoughts.

The story adds:
"An additional investigation released information showing Broom unlawfully confined his wife and failed/refused to render aid or call for medical attention after the shooting"

The media has not sensationalized this story. Give me a break.

read the police report....
read the arrest reports...
listen to the 911 recording....

He waited hours before calling 911 and sounded like it was a total stranger that was shot. He did not sound like a concerned spouse....but why should he? He is afterall a cheating husband and selfish father.

May he get what he deserves and may Danna and the girls find peace.

How is Danna and the baby? She was one of my direct neighbors and nobody seems to know hows shes doing. The nanny moved down the street and does not talk to anyone. The neighborhood misses Danna. Hope all is well. We will keep the prayers strong for both!
