A Wisconsin man was arrested for allegedly shooting three kids after they threw several snowballs at his car last month, a report said Tuesday.

William Carson, 24, is accused of opening fire at a group of seven children who were chucking snowballs at passing vehicles in Milwaukee on Jan. 4,  FOX 6 News reported, citing a criminal complaint.

When one of the frozen snowballs hit Carson’s car, he turned around, got out and started shooting, the report said.

One child was shot in the thigh, a second was hit in the arm and another kid’s jacket was grazed by a bullet, the report said.

Carson fled after the shooting and was caught by police Jan. 12 while driving under the influence.

Cops recovered a gun from Carson’s car, which they determine is “highly probable” to be the same firearm used in the Jan. 4 attack, the complaint says.

Carson was hit with several charges, including first-degree reckless injury and use of a dangerous weapon.
