A family is lucky to still be intact after an irate driver pulled up alongside their car in Decatur and fired into the vehicle on Wednesday afternoon.

According to WSB-TV, Princess Reed, her boyfriend, and Reed’s 1-and-2-year-old children were getting on Interstate 20 near Candler Road when they stopped behind a car which braked suddenly. The driver of the car behind them wasn’t very happy about the turn of events and swung around to pull even with the Reeds. He then allegedly brandished a handgun and fired three shots at their car.

The bullets shattered glass windows, but didn’t harm anyone inside the car. Reed’s 2-year-old daughter may have been saved by a piece of rubber which sealed the backseat window, WSB-TV says.

The shooter was described as a black man in his 20s who was driving a red or orange Chevy.
