<p>A 5-year-old girl was shot through the leg — with the bullet lodged in her sippy cup — during a terrifying rush-hour road rage incident in North Carolina.</p>
<p>Charles Edward Stevenson Jr., 20, is accused of firing a single shot at the girl's dad, who was driving a Ford F150 on US Route 1 near Raleigh before 8 p.m. Monday. But the bullet pierced through little Ema's right leg, local network WRAL reported.</p>
<p>The slug was later found in the girl's sippy cup.</p>
<p>"Your stomach just drops all the way down," Aubree Allison, the girl's aunt, told WRAL of the heart-stopping encounter.</p>
<p>"What an image that is. And it's nothing that you hope happens in your own life," she added in regards to the bullet found in the cup.</p>
