A man and a woman in Texas were arrested after a shooting incident involving two vehicles–one with a two-year-old passenger in the backseat.

Luckily, the toddler was uninjured.


According to Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez, the road-rage incident occurred on July 26 in Harris County.

The two parties involved were driving north on 45 near 1960 before shots were fired.

The victim who had the child in the backseat had exited the highway with the suspect's truck following.

Both vehicles came to a stop near a car dealership.

The male driver suspect allegedly approached the victim and assaulted him. When the victim sped away, the female suspect exited the truck's passenger side with a handgun and fired a shot into the vehicle's backseat passenger window.

A video of the incident was shared on Twitter.

After viewing the video, social media users sounded off about lax gun laws in the country.










Gonzalez said the woman fired a second shot at the fleeing vehicle and struck the nearby car dealership building.

The victim was taken to the hospital where he was treated for a "possible graze wound" but was otherwise in "good condition."

There were no other injuries.

The suspects have been identified as 40-year-old Nazly Ortiz–the woman who fired the shots–and 34-year-old Benjamin Greene.

The internet filled in the gaps by providing images identifying the suspects.

At a court appearance on Wednesday, it was revealed that Greene was a combat veteran who served in the Navy and has a 10-year-old son.

ABC 13 News reported that Ortiz was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and Greene was charged with aggravated assault after his confrontation with the victim.

Their charges did more than just raise eyebrows.




The probable cause court judge did not set bail for either suspect but left it up to the judge in the 182nd court, where both suspects have now been assigned.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
