CARROLLTON - A bus driver for country singer Toby Keith was wounded when a gunshot tore into the bus on a suburban Dallas freeway.

George Hampton, 55, was listed in good condition Tuesday at Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas.

The shooting happened just after 11 p.m. Monday on Interstate 35E northbound near the President George Bush Turnpike in Carrollton.

Hampton told police he was hauling Keith's band equipment from Florida to Oklahoma when he heard what sounded like a shot outside the bus, said Sgt. David Sponhour, Carrollton police spokesman.

The slug tore through the side of the bus and hit Hampton high in the left leg, Sponhour said.

Hampton was able to stop the bus safely. Keith was not aboard the bus, but three other people were. None were wounded.

Police have no suspects.
