BAKER, La. (WAFB) - Baker Police Chief Carl Dunn says an argument between two employees of the City of Baker led to a shooting Monday afternoon.

The two male employees were arguing in the 2600 block of Groom Road when one of the men started shooting, according to Dunn.

Dunn said one of the men was injured and is currently at the hospital. The shooter has been detained by Baker Police for questioning, Dunn added.

It’s unclear what the argument was about. A spokeswoman for the City of Baker said the workers were not on the clock at the time of the shooting. She added that the incident did not happen on city property.
