WILKES-BARRE, LUZERNE COUNTY- A gunman riddled a car with bullets in Wilkes-Barre before speeding away. It happened around 1:00 P. M. near the Wilkes-Barre Fire Department’s South Station on High Street.

Police say a gunman in a red jeep fired shots into this car and drove off. The man in the car, Clifton Blake from Wilkes-Barre, wasn't injured.

Police are still searching for the gunman. Blake says it's all over an argument with his child's mother. "We saw the individual circling around my house and we knew better than to just go home and put the rest of my family in jeopardy. So we circled back around the block and parked on one of the side streets and that's where we saw the individuals pull out a small caliber pistol and aim at us," he said.

Wilkes-Barre police are still looking for the gunman.
