Former Atlanta Falcons safety William Moore was arrested Sunday and faces six charges after allegedly shooting into a car while two children were in the back seat.
The incident occurred at Alexander Park in Gwinnett County outside of Atlanta after a woman's 9-year-old niece was playing with another girl.
After the impromptu play date, Moore allegedly approached the girl and started using profane language.
The woman said Moore then told her that her niece slapped his daughter, which she said she did not see. The woman said the two girls were playing "a game like tag."

"He was livid over absolutely nothing," the woman, who asked to remain anonymous, told WSBTV in Atlanta.
Scared for her safety, she drove away but accidentally hit Moore's vehicle. That's when he exited his car and allegedly shot.
