The baby's father, Rob Thomas says his girlfriend's car was shot at while at a gas station. His 5-month-old, Royalty Thomas, was in the back seat. The father says his girlfriend pulled in to get gas when someone started hitting their car. The woman tried to pull away, but then a man shot a bullet went through the mother's back window. The baby was grazed, but the bullet didn't go through her skin. Thomas says she has a blister from the heat of the bullet.

"I pick the baby up, I see the bullet holes in the car and the bullet fell out of the diaper," Thomas said.

Thomas says his girlfriend did not know the people shooting at her and thinks the shooter mistook her for someone else.

"Nothing but rage, frustration. It's sad that this is what our city is like," Thomas told CBS 58. "To hear that my girlfriend just got shot at, his girlfriend just got shot at, for no reason. Just people being ignorant."
