The incident occurred in February where several people, including two children, were nearly caught in crossfire after occupants in three cars pulled into a parking lot and started blasting bullets at two SUVs.

A front-seat passenger in one of the cars can be seen firing rounds with a handgun, and a backseat passenger fires what appears to be an assault-type rifle.

A man and two small children are seen leaving the store and escaping into a vehicle as shots rang out, with the man leaving his car door open during the entire ordeal.

Car windows were blown out and the store’s building was hit after dozens of bullets were fired, but surprisingly there were no serious injuries.

Police arrested the man identified as one of the drivers.
