Two people were arrested following a road-rage incident involving one of the suspects firing a gun into a car with a 2-year-old inside, Texas cops say.

The incident, which was caught on video, happened Tuesday, July 26, in Harris County, according to the sheriff. A man was driving on Interstate 45 with his 2-year-old son in the backseat when he and the suspects stopped their vehicles off of an exit.

A man driving a truck approached the victim and “allegedly assaulted him,” Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said. As the victim began to flee in his vehicle, a woman who was riding in the truck exited with a handgun and fired into the backseat window of the car, Gonzalez said.

A second shot was also “wildly fired,” with a nearby car dealership being struck by the gunfire, according to the sheriff.

Video taken by a driver uninvolved in the incident shows the woman fire two shots before she and the man fled in the black truck.
