This is the second road rage shooting reported in the Milwaukee area in July, after news broke that a 3-year-old girl was shot and killed in her mother's car.

According to police, the shooting suspect got out of his green conversion van, and got into the argument.

Video surveillance footage from a home's camera recorded the entire incident, and video shared online shows the man pulling a gun, just as a silver sedan begins to pull away. As the sedan accelerates away, you can hear the man fire four gunshots in the car's direction. One of those gunshots ended up striking a 5-year-old girl, police say.

Police say the girl suffered a graze-wound on her leg, and was transported to a local hospital for emergency treatment.

Police say officers arrested a 35-year-old Milwaukee man in connection with the shooting, saying that the investigation into the case is still going, and that criminal charges will be forwarded to the Milwaukee County District Attorney's office soon.

"It hurts my heart for a little innocent baby to be shot again, and we are sick and tired of hearing this," neighbor Dale Johnson said in a WISN-TV interview. "Week after week, and day after day, this has got to stop."
