The ＂forklift truck war＂ in Hebei Province is suspected to be a gun-related case, and the official said it was a business dispute.

　　On April 17th, at the section of Tang Yao Avenue in the southwest of Xingtang County, Hebei Province, several forklift drivers collided with each other and used the forklift bucket as a weapon to hit the other forklift. Six forklifts were caught in a scuffle. A passerby filmed a one-minute video of "Forklift Fight", which quickly spread on the Internet. The Propaganda Department of Xingtang County announced that the collision of forklifts was caused by the business contradiction between the two mixing stations, and the conflict caused two people to be injured. An investigation by Beijing Youth Daily reporter found that one of the injured in the "forklift fight" was seriously injured, but the injury was a gunshot wound, which was suspected to be a gun-related case.

　　A "forklift fight" broke out in the county seat.

　　Yesterday, the video of "forklift fight" was widely circulated, and netizens said that the fight between forklifts was shocking. The video of more than one minute shows that the forklifts in the picture confront each other, the two sides collide with each other, and they "wrestle" together with buckets. Both forklift arms are raised, and the forklift bucket is picked up and slammed at the opposite forklift. After several rounds, another forklift on the right side joined the "battle", and the two forklifts joined forces to "push down" the forklift on the left side, making it lie across the road. At this time, two forklifts came from the left to join the battle, accelerated to the right, and hit a forklift on the right.

　　In the last part of the video, another forklift comes on the left, and a forklift driver climbs out of the knocked-down forklift and rushes into the newly arrived forklift cab. Many forklifts are still fighting together, and smoke rises on the road.

　　A forklift driver was shot.

　　It is reported that the "forklift fight" took place on April 17, and the incident took place in Xingtang County, Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province. The party involved was Xinghua Mixing Station in Xingtang County. Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Zhao, a staff member of Xinghua Mixing Station, told the reporter of Beiqing Daily, "Two people were injured here, and one of them was seriously injured." Mr. Zhao introduced that on the morning of the incident, various vehicles in Xinghua were providing concrete to the construction site. The forklift of Jianwen mixing station suddenly appeared near the construction site, in addition to seven or eight off-road vehicles. "The license plates are all covered." Mr. Zhao believes that the purpose of Jianwen mixing station is to compete for business on the construction site. Mr. Zhao said that the video only took some pictures of the conflict, and dozens of people came from Jianwen, carrying weapons such as knives and guns. I don’t know what kind of gun it is. Because the forklift was equipped with a radio station, the driver of Xinghua mixing station shouted with walkie-talkie and immediately called several forklifts to "support", and then there was a "forklift battle" in the video.

　　Mr. Zhao said that the conflict was not as simple as that shown in the video. "Two drivers were injured on the Xinghua (mixing station) side, and both of them appeared in the video. The driver of the overturned forklift suffered a skin injury, and the driver of the forklift he climbed was shot and seriously injured."

　　The front desk staff of a hotel near the incident also told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that "someone was shot" in this incident.

　　The driver who was shot was seriously injured.

　　The reporter of Beiqing Daily learned that the driver who was seriously injured in the conflict was named Liu Zhanqi, who is currently being treated in the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University. The case of Liu Zhanqi was marked as "the patient was shot" and "the left chest was injured by a bullet". More detailed descriptions include: "Many internal organs were penetrated by bullets" and "the position of the bullet was only two centimeters away from the heart".

　　The staff of the emergency surgery department of the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University confirmed the injury of Liu Zhanqi to the reporter of Beiqing Daily. The doctor found that the left chest of Liu Zhanqi was injured by bullets, and bullet holes were visible. When interviewed by the reporter of Beiqing Daily, due to serious injuries, in order to ensure the safety of Liu Zhanqi, the bullet has not been taken out of the body.

　　Officials say business disputes lead to conflicts.

　　Yesterday afternoon, the official micro of the Propaganda Department of Xingtang County published a message that the cause of the collision of forklifts had been found out, which was caused by the contradiction between the two mixing stations in supplying concrete. "Xingtang Release" said that the incident happened at 8 o’clock last Sunday at the section of Tang Yao Avenue in Longzhou Town, Xingtang County. After preliminary investigation, the two parties involved were Xinghua Mixing Station and Jianwen Mixing Station in Xingtang County respectively. The two sides disagreed over the supply of concrete to the "Earl Family" construction site in Xingtang County, which led to the collision of forklifts, resulting in the rollover of two forklifts, injuries to two forklift drivers and different degrees of damage to the six forklifts involved.

　　As for why the forklift driver was shot and who attacked with a gun, the staff of the propaganda department of Xingtang said that they could only wait for further investigation by the police.
