A dispute between two truck drivers led to gunfire Saturday afternoon on icy Interstate 20.

The shooting happened about noon on I-20 westbound in the Brompton area, said St. Clair County Assistant Sheriff's Billy Murray.

Few details were available, but Murray said the incident began as a verbal argument between the two men. That dispute then led to Hans Scheing, of Delaware, being shot in the stomach.

Scheing was first taken to St. Vincent's Hospital in St. Clair County, and then later flown to UAB Hospital in Birmingham.

Murray identified the suspect as John Thomas Hook, of East Garden City in South Carolina. He said the investigation is ongoing, but it appears some kind of road-rage led up to the incident.
