A Columbus man has been arrested after he drove through Columbus streets early Wednesday, shooting at another car that contained a female driver and a six-week-old infant.
The incident happened around 8:30 a.m.
No one was hurt, and the suspect has been charged with aggravated assault with the intent to produce death.
39-year-old Terence Lee Barrow of Kaye Drive in Columbus was arrested, charged, and booked into the Lowndes County Adult Detention Center.
According to police, Barrow was in a 2012 Kia Optima and began a car chase with the victim in the area of MLK Drive near NAPA Auto Parts. The chase moved to Military Road near Lowes and entered Highway 82 bypass. From there, the victim drove into the Kroger parking lot on Highway 45 North while also talking to 911 operators.
Columbus Police responded immediately and conducted a felony traffic stop on the Kia in the parking lot of Miller’s OK Tire on Highway 45 North.
Barrow was taken into custody and a weapon was recovered at the scene. Police say they do not know the cause for the shooting, but they do not believe that the incident was random.
Anyone with information on the case is asked to call Crimestoppers at 800-530-7151.
