A man fired at a car he was chasing Monday night, leaving a child with a minor injury, a North Carolina sheriff’s office said.

During the "rolling road rage situation" that began in the Hillsborough area around 7 p.m. Monday, Kelly Long, 41, of Hurdle Mills, fired several times at an occupied vehicle, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.

After the chase, the other driver pulled over at a gas station on Highway 70 and deputies responded, officials said. The driver initially reported no injuries, but deputies found a projectile lodged in the back of a safety seat and a corresponding minor injury to the back of the driver's 4-year-old child, officials said. The boy was treated on the scene and didn’t need further medical care, officials said.
