SOUTH WINDSOR, Conn. — South Windsor police are investigating a workplace shooting off Route 5 Tuesday morning.
Two men were injured and the suspect was taken into custody by police near the Massachusetts state line.
Police say the shooting was reported around 8:45 a.m. from the area of the Independent Truck & Tractor Repair company at 105 Edwin Road.
It was reported that one man had been shot at the time, but when police arrived, they said two people were injured. Police said the shooting seemed to have been isolated between the victim and suspect following a verbal argument. Both of them were employees.
The first victim reportedly suffered a gunshot wound to his leg and another injury to his arm, police said. They are investigating how many shots were actually fired. The second victim was not shot, according to police, but suffered a laceration near his eye from either ricochet or debris.
Police have not identified the victims at this time.
According to the Associated Press, police identified the alleged shooter as 33-year-old Alan Rosario, of Springfield, Massachusetts.

Police said Rosario is currently held at the Mass. State Police Springfield barracks and will be charged with being a fugitive from justice.
