“My daughter, she came down to get money from her son’s father, and she says as she was leaving, the girl stood behind her car and shot up her car,” the woman, who did not want to be identified, told NBC6. “She says she was okay, and that her friend was also in the car, and her friend was okay, too. But the girl punched her friend in the face first.”

The woman was with her daughter’s 4-year-old son as she spoke with NBC6, and said that he was unharmed.

“She said a bullet came through the roof, I heard, and she said a bullet hit the back window and it graced the tag,” the woman said.
