Police: Argument between workers in Waste Management truck escalates into shooting

ORLANDO, Fla. — An argument between two workers in a Waste Management truck escalated into a shooting early Friday, the Orlando Police Department said.

Police were called shortly before 5:30 a.m. to the company's facility at Rio Vista Avenue and 35th Street, Orlando police spokeswoman Michelle Guido said.

The workers got out of the truck on Vineland Road near L.B. McLeod Road, where the fight got physical, Guido said.

Police said one of the workers shot the other worker in the abdomen.

Investigators said the victim drove the truck back to the facility, which was blocks away.

"He was transported to the hospital, where he is in stable condition," Guido said. "The suspect was located near the facility and was taken into custody without incident."

Investigators didn't release the identities of either person.

The shooting remains under investigation.

No other details were given.
