Ian Hollingsworth, 25, faces an aggravated assault with a deadly weapon charge following the shooting on Monday, according to Officer Luis Mata, a spokesperson for the Dallas Police Department.<\/p>\n

The shooting occurred in the parking lot of the FedEx Ground facility on Adler Drive, Heather Wilson, a FedEx spokesperson, confirmed in a statement to The Dallas Morning News.<\/p>\n

When Hollingsworth arrived, he parked in front of the victim, and blocked him from pulling out.<\/p>\n

Hollingsworth got out of his vehicle with a hammer and stuck his coworker\u2019s vehicle multiple times with it, according to the affidavit.<\/p>\n

Hollingsworth argued with the victim and smashed the driver\u2019s side window of his vehicle with the hammer, according to the affidavit.<\/p>\n

Hollingsworth is accused in the affidavit of hitting his coworker with the hammer multiple times, causing the victim to fear for their life and to retrieve a revolver they owned.<\/p>\n

Hollingsworth struck his coworker in the hand with the hammer, causing him to drop the weapon, according to the affidavit. Hollingsworth then allegedly took the revolver and shot the victim in the chest and twice in the shoulder.<\/p>\n

The victim was taken to Methodist Dallas Medical Center in stable condition, according to police.<\/p>\n

Hollingsworth was arrested around 1:30 pm., according to Mata. He was detained at his home in Grand Prairie after turning himself in, according to the affidavit.<\/p>\n

In an interview with detectives, the victim said Hollingsworth had accused him of giving him \u201cdirty looks\u201d as they worked. The victim didn\u2019t know why the incident escalated, according to the affidavit.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur thoughts are with our team member who is injured, the safety and security of our team members is our highest priority,\u201d Wilson said in the statement provided to The News.<\/p>\n

After his arrest, Hollingsworth was taken to the Dallas County jail.<\/p>\n
