ATLANTA — Atlanta police investigating an apparent road rage shooting on Friday have made an arrest.

Police have arrested 21-year-old Bennie McCoy for opening fire on the car he had collided with before speeding off.

Police say it all started in Atlanta on Sylvan Road and ended at a gas station in East Point at the intersection of Main Street and Knotts Avenue.

A preliminary investigation suggests a female driver was involved in an accident and when attempting to flag down the other driver involved, that driver shot towards her vehicle, striking the children who were seated inside.

The two girls, an 8-year-old and a 13-year-old, were both shot in the arm. They were alert, conscious, and breathing when they were taken to the hospital.
