The victim, an 11-year-old girl, was taken to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center. Police described her condition Tuesday as stable.
Investigators said a PT Cruiser cut two lanes of traffic in front of a white Chevrolet Silverado, almost causing a collision. The drivers of the vehicles got into a verbal altercation police said and the Chevy driver displayed a firearm.
The driver of the PT Cruiser continued to block the Silverado's path for a full traffic light cycle, police said, and the driver of the PT Cruiser then fired multiple rounds into the Silverado.
An ABC11 breaking news crew at the scene later saw the Silverado with two bullet holes in the center windshield being towed away.

The driver of the PT Cruiser stopped at the traffic light before turning into a nearby parking lot to wait for police. He was taken into custody at the scene.

He is being held at the Cumberland County Detention Center under a $500,000 secure bond.
