A man who allegedly fired multiple gunshots at his former girlfriend as she drove her children to school Wednesday morning is being sought on multiple charges by Fresno police.

The incident took place about 8 a.m. in southeast Fresno, according to Lt. Mark Hudson.

Donald Newsome reportedly was following the victims when he stopped his car in the middle of the street near the victim’s home, stepped out and started shooting a gun at the woman’s car.

He then sped away. No one in the car was hit by bullets.

Newsome is considered armed and dangerous, Hudson said.

Anyone with information about his location is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 559-498-7867.
