Surveillance video of a road rage incident shows a man shooting at a silver vehicle with a 5-year-old in the back seat of the car.
A silver vehicle turns onto 44th and Keefe and slows down because of a pothole. The suspect was driving a green van and pulls up to the side of the silver vehicle. That's when an argument occurs. The silver car drives away with the 5-year-old in the back seat. The suspect then pulls out a gun and fires multiple shots at the silver vehicle.
Lawrence Wyatt Sr. heard the gunfire and said these senseless shootings have to stop.
"It hurts! I heard all four shots, pop, pop, pop, pop! I came out and I didn’t see nothing but a car from one end shooting somebody at the other end, young folks," said Wyatt Sr.
Police said the 5-year-old was the only passenger in the vehicle. She was grazed and wounded by the bullet in the back of her leg. The 5-year-old was taken to the hospital, treated and released.
A 35-year-old Milwaukee manwas arrested in connection with the shooting Thursday night.
