A General Motors employee shot a coworker on Tuesday during an argument in the parking lot of the company’s plant in Arlington, according to the accounts of police and the automaker.

A 24-year-old man was fired upon about 6:30 a.m. at the vehicle assembly facility in the 2500 block of East Abram Street, according to an Arlington police spokesperson.

The victim was shot multiple times and was taken to a hospital in critical condition, according to Tim Ciesco, the police spokesperson.

Police arrested Larry Hines, 26, in connection with the shooting and booked him into the Arlington city jail on suspicion of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

Hines left the parking lot immediately after the shooting. A short time later, Hines called 911 and said he had been involved in the shooting, according to Ciesco.

Officers went to the Hines’s location, an apartment complex in the 4100 block of Viridian Village Drive, and detained him.

Hines and victim know each other, Ciesco said. General Motors confirmed the shooting involved two employees, WFAA-TV reported.
