A man was fatally shot at Walker County Recycling after he got into a dispute with an employee at the business this morning, according to the Sumiton Police Department.

Around 11:20 a.m., the victim, 34-year-old Jason Freeman, got into a dispute with someone at the business, which led to an assault on one of the employees, said Nick Key, Sumiton Police Corrections and Communications Supervisor.

At some point during the dispute and assault, one of the employees shot the Freeman, Key said.

He was then taken to Walker Baptist Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

Key said police do not believe Freeman was a business partner or that the assault stemmed from a business dispute.

Police have not filed formal charges against the shooter.

The shooting is still under investigation, and additional details were not immediately available.
