A FedEx employee was reported shot and injured by a colleague in an industrial area off Interstate 30 in west Dallas.
Police sources told WFAA that the injured employee, Reginald Miles, was hospitalized after officers responded to a shooting call around 10:30 a.m. on Monday. The incident occurred in the 3900 block of Adler Drive, the Dallas Police Department said in a press release.
Police say Miles is in stable condition.
Ian Hollingsworth was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after attacking Miles at their workplace.
Hollingsworth reportedly blocked Miles’ vehicle with his pickup truck, then exited and struck it multiple times with a hammer. He reportedly shattered the driver-side window and assaulted Miles with the hammer.
Miles retrieved a revolver from his car and tried to get out while holding it; however, the suspect overpowered him, causing him to drop the gun. Hollingsworth reportedly picked up the gun and shot Miles three times—twice in the shoulder and once in the chest—before fleeing the scene, per WFAA. Miles later mentioned that Hollingsworth had previously accused him of giving “dirty looks,” but he was unsure why the situation escalated.
Miles has been working at FedEx since 1994, and Hollingsworth joined the company in 2021.
FedEx acknowledged the “shooting incident” in their Dallas facility parking lot on Adler Drive.
“We can confirm there was a shooting incident in the parking lot of our Dallas facility on Adler Drive earlier this morning. Our thoughts are with our team member who is injured. The safety and security of our team members is our highest priority, and we are cooperating fully with investigating authorities,” FedEx said in the statement, per WFAA.
