One person was injured in a shooting at a business in Farmington Hills on Tuesday morning.

It happened around 8 a.m. at Specialty Steel Treating Inc. in the area of 8 Mile and Orchard Lake.

Police say officers responded after a 911 call from a man who said he shot someone in the parking lot.

According to police, the situation stemmed from an ongoing workplace dispute that turned violent.

“At this time, there is no danger to the public. All involved the parties have been identified and the weapons involved have been seized,” Farmington Hills Police Chief Jeff King said in a statement.. “I want to commend the speed and efficiency of our officers’ response, in containing and stabilizing this dangerous scene and ensuring the safety of our community."

Officers on scene interviewed several people involved, including the man who admitted to being involved in the shooting.

The victim was also identified after arriving at a local hospital with a gunshot wound to the leg. That person is in critical but stable condition.

Emisha Bausley said her son, 25-year-old Dawon Bausley, was shot this morning.

"I got the phone call from my husband saying an incident occurred at his job that he has been shot," she said.

She said solving a dispute does not need to lead to guns or violence.

"Put the guns down, we don't need it," said Emisha. "I just pray that my son will be okay and what happened? Once again we've got violence."

Police say they are still in the early stages of this investigation.
