Clayton County police are looking for a man who shot into a car while a baby was inside.

The shooting occurred about 6 p.m. Friday on Sister Lane in College Park, Clayton County police spokeswoman Sgt. Ashanti Marbury said.

A man and woman were arguing over the woman’s sister when he pulled out a gun and fired shots, Marbury said.

One of the bullets traveled through the passenger seat and was lodged in the door near the baby, according to police.

An arrest warrant was taken out on the man, who faces aggravated assault, criminal damage and child cruelty charges.

No one was injured in the incident, Marbury said. No other details were released.
