MOUNTAIN HOUSE (CBS13) – A man who was allegedly caught on camera hanging out the back passenger side of a car and shooting at another vehicle in Mountain House has been arrested.

The incident happened early Sunday afternoon near Heritage Drive and Prosperity Street.

Several people called to report seeing someone with a gun hanging out the window, shooting at another vehicle.

No injuries were ever reported, the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office says.

Later, detectives were able to identify the alleged gunman as a man named Jerome Ward. Detectives also believe that the shooting stemmed from some sort of domestic violence disturbance.
