Man accused of firing at vehicle, narrowly missing 3-year-old girl

A man has been arrested for shooting at a car in an apparent case of road rage.

According to a criminal complaint, Michael Baitz, 25, shot at the truck while driving on Atrisco near Central on Sunday.

The person who was driving the other car had a three-year-old child inside the vehicle, but neither was hurt.

Baitz has a criminal history.

In Dec. 2017, he was arrested for the killing of Benjamin Maldonado.

He took a plea deal and was out on probation.

In what world can you kill someone and be out on probation just over a year later?! Maybe some kind of self defence deal? I'm personally for more lax prison sentences in the US, but that's just silly. I hope they get him some anger management classes and get him away from the public for a long while.
