GREENSBORO, N.C. — A man accused of shooting a coworker in Greensboro appeared in court Tuesday.
Ricky Williams, 44 was issued a $500,000 bond. The district attorney said he's a danger because of previous felony convictions from the 1990s. He also has pending charges, unrelated to Monday's shooting.
Greensboro police said a dispute between two employees at Pactiv led to a shooting early Monday morning at the facility.
Ricky Williams, 44, is charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury and possession of a firearm by a felon.
Police said other charges may be pending and that the victim is in stable condition.
The department said the shooting happened just before 6:30 a.m. at the business on Radar Road.
Injuries did not appear life-threatening, and the suspect is in custody. No other employees were injured.
The company left a statement:
“We are deeply saddened by this incident, which occurred earlier today at our Greensboro facility. Our hearts go out to the victim, who according to authorities has sustained non-life-threatening injuries, and we wish him a speedy recovery. The safety and wellbeing of our employees is our top priority. We thank the local emergency responders for their support, and we will continue to fully cooperate with the investigation.”
