Dallas police said the 26-year-old man was driving with his son, who was in the front passenger seat, to meet up with the boy's mother. He saw a gray Pontiac near the intersection of Scyene and North Prairie Creek roads that he thought belonged to her at about 10:40 p.m.

When the man pulled up next to the Pontiac, he exchanged words with driver. A person in the back seat then rolled down the window and fired a handgun at the man, striking him once.

The man then drove about a mile to Dallas Fire-Rescue Station 5, where paramedics transported him to Baylor University Medical Center. His condition is not yet known, but police said they expect him to be fine.

The victim's child was not injured. Police said they released him to a relative.

Police said they have a person of interest in custody for questioning.
