Police said a man was on his motorcycle, stopped at the intersection when a man driving a pickup slammed into him.
The motorcycle operator was thrown from his bike, but he got up to confront the driver of the truck, and he had a gun.
"The subject on the motorcycle that was thrown from the motorcycle fired a shot," said Cartersville Police Capt Michael Bettekoffer.
The man who was shot was airlifted to Grady Memorial Hospital. The motorcycle driver was rushed to a Cartersville hospital.
Close friends told FOX 5 News, the two not only know each other, but they're also brothers.
"It's crazy, if somebody's that mad at their brother, just don't have any contact with them," said Haney.
