One person is dead after a shooting Friday morning at Ingalls Shipbuilding, a Mississippi shipyard that builds vessels for the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard, police said.
Officials identified the alleged shooter as Curtis James Jr., 25. He is in custody.
Police said at a news conference Friday afternoon that the shooting was a disagreement between two men who knew each other. A Pascagoula County Deputy police chief referred to it as a "workplace dispute."
Police did not release the name of the person who was killed. HII, Ingalls Shipbuilding' parent company, said the victim was a shipbuilder.
During the incident, personnel were urged to shelter in place, HII said.
Ingalls Shipbuilding, in Pascagoula, is the largest supplier of U.S. Navy surface combatants, according to its website, and the largest manufacturing employer in Mississippi. The shipyard has built U.S. Navy and Coast Guard vessels for 85 years.
Pascagoula is the county seat of Jackson County, Mississippi, and is home to about 22,000 people.
