About 21: 00 4 July, a family of four drove past the Fiesta store in Harris County (TX) when a driver had a conflict with a person driving another car, writes People.

Local sheriff Ed Gonzalez called the scene "horrifying." According to Gonzalez, as the dispute aggravated, two cars drove up to the nearest gas station.

The children's father and the other driver exchanged a few words, after which the suspect fired at a car in which there were two small children.

Inside the car were a mother of children, a one-year-old child, and another toddler who, according to the police, was from 1 to 3 years.

The bullet that hit the car ignited the fireworks that the family had acquired shortly before the incident.

The children's father tried to leave, but the fireworks began to fire, and the car caught fire.

Surveillance video shows the vehicle — possibly a 2016-18 Ford Explorer — involved in the July 4 road rage incident that set off fireworks that consumed the cab of a family's pickup.
