After a father said he saved his 7-year-old son from being hit by Kenneth Dudding’s car that was backing up, he watched the man point his fingers at him in the shape of a gun through the car window.

"What are you going to do? Shoot us?" he recalled asking the man in court Wednesday morning.

The driver grabbed a real gun and did just that, according to West Palm Beach police. No one was injured in the shooting.

Dudding, 31, faces charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, simple assault, firing a weapon from a vehicle and other weapon offenses. Judge Joseph Marx ordered Dudding be held on $129,000 bail at the Palm Beach County Jail. If he is released, he must surrender all of his weapons to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, Marx ordered.

"This was not only a dangerous act toward the intended victim and the child," he said. "But everyone was in danger when he fired that weapon," an assistant state attorney said.

On Tuesday, police responded to a shots fired call at Walgreens on the corner of Southern Boulevard and South Dixie Highway around 7 p.m. The man told police he was walking toward the Walgreens with his son, when a black Chevy Camaro began backing out of a parking space. In court, he said his son was "just millimeters" from being run over. He said he got into a verbal argument with Dudding and then the man pointed his fingers in the shape of a gun.

When he asked if he was going to shoot him, Dudding grabbed a handgun from the car and fired a shot in the father and son’s direction, according to the police report.

When Dudding was later arrested, he denied ever taking his gun out of the glove box or shooting it, according to the report. Police found a spent casing on the driver’s seat and the gun under the driver’s seat.

The man said there is video of the incident from Walgreens, but police have not released it.

All of Dudding’s previous records are traffic related, according to Palm Beach County records.
