ROCKFORD — Nobody was injured Tuesday afternoon after a pedestrian fired a gun into the windshield of a car that almost hit her.

Police say the incident happened around 2 p.m., in the 1500 block of Rose Avenue. The driver of the car, a 33-year-old Rockford woman, was traveling south on Rose when she slid on the ice and almost hit the female pedestrian.

Officials say the bullet went through the windshield, narrowly missing the driver’s 6-year-old son, and exited through the rear driver’s side window.

The suspect fled north on foot. The suspect is described as a black female in her late 20s to early 30s.
