12-year-old girl hurt in Pittsburg 'road rage' shooting; Sacramento man arrested

Authorities say the 12-year-old girl was sitting in the passenger seat of her mom's car when she was shot Friday afternoon.

PITTSBURG, Calif. — A 12-year-old girl was hurt after being shot in an apparent road rage incident in Pittsburg Friday, according to officials with the Pittsburg Police Department.

At 1:54 p.m. Friday, authorities say a woman was driving with her three children in the area of Buchanan Road and Harbor Street in Pittsburg when a road-rage incident happened.

The suspect, identified as 29-year-old Sacramento resident Dwayne Brown III, allegedly pulled up next to the victim's car and pulled out a gun before firing one round, which hit the 12-year-old.

The child's mother drove to a nearby shopping center where she called police. The girl's injuries are non-life-threatening and she was in stable condition at the hospital Friday night.

Brown was arrested soon after the shooting with the help of Modesto police officers.

Officers believe the incident is isolated but ask those with information to call investigators at 925-646-2411.
