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.

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.

The slug was later found in the girl’s sippy cup.

“Your stomach just drops all the way down,” Aubree Allison, the girl’s aunt, told WRAL of the heart-stopping encounter.

“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.

Ema’s dad told cops that Stevenson was driving erratically on the major thoroughfare — with the 20-year-old throwing something out of his window at another car, which had instead hit the F150.

When Ema’s dad, whose name was not released, rolled down his window to yell at Stevenson, the young man fired a single bullet at the pick-up truck, which ended up striking the innocent girl.

She was rushed to a local hospital and underwent emergency surgery.

Ema’s family has since revealed that she has undergone several successful surgeries but is now missing a chunk of her leg, WRAL reported.

Her rehabilitation time is expected to take between four and six months but the brave little girl is expected to make a full recovery, The News & Observer reported.

Stevenson faces charges including assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill and discharging a firearm into occupied property.
