A man driving the sedan returns the fire back at the white car. A toddler was struck by a bullet.

The car's windows seem to be tinted, which leads investigators to believe that the shooter was unaware of the child's presence.

It wasn't until the boy's mother was driving away from the scene that the passenger noticed that the child was bleeding, according to investigators as per KTLA.
