Man Rear-Ends, Shoots, Injures Father and Daughter

After being involved in a rear-end car accident Tuesday, a man opened fire on another man and his two daughters, injurying one daughter and the father.

Darrick Kelly was driving with his two daughters, 4 and 7-years-old, when he was rear-ended by another driver. According to Kelly, the other driver exited his vehicle and began running away, but when Kelly shouted for help, the man returned with a gun saying "You need help? You need help?" and shot Kelly in the jaw.

Kelly's 7-year-old daughter was also shot, but is expected to be released from the hospital soon. Kelly has since been released from the hospital. The suspect was arrested at the scene of the shooting.
