One person is in critical condition and a 26-year-old man in police custody after a shooting at the General Motors plant in Arlington, according to a news release from police.
Larry Hines was arrested Tuesday on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after calling police and telling them he was involved in the shooting, authorities said in the release.
Investigators said the shooting happened around 6:30 a.m. Tuesday after an argument in the parking lot of the plant.
When they arrived, officers found the victim with multiple gunshot wounds and discovered the shooter had left the scene, according to the release.
Hines called 911 shortly after the shooting and told dispatchers he “had been involved in the incident,” police said in the news release.
Police went to his apartment in the 4100 block of Viridian Village Drive where he was detained, authorities said. After further investigation, he was formally arrested and charged.
Hines and the other man, whose name has not been released, knew each other before the argument, according to police.
A police spokesperson said Hines did not have any previous arrests in Arlington and a search of Tarrant County court records showed no prior criminal charges in the county. He said the specific nature of the argument is still under investigation.
A spokesperson for GM did not respond to a KERA email asking if both men were employed at the plant.
Hines is being held at the Arlington City Jail awaiting transport to the Tarrant County Jail and a bond hearing. Hines was not yet listed in Tarrant County court records, meaning no attorney could be immediately identified and contacted for comment Tuesday morning.
