Motorist Apparently Angered By One Truck Passing Another
The shooting happened on I-94 west in Burns Harbor near Exit 22 around 6:30 p.m.

When the SUV finally passed the semi, the trucker said that he felt a pain in his leg and realized that he had been shot.
The victim’s truck showed evidence of taking gunfire.
The SUV continued down I-94.
We have no information on the truck driver’s condition at this time.
