HEWITT, Texas (KXXV) — Hewitt police responded to several shots around 7 a.m. on Wednesday — they say two men shot one another, and one had a rifle and one had a handgun.

They say the two males got into an argument over a female.

"The original subject that showed up and started the argument, was struck two to three times with rounds from a handgun," said Hewitt Police Department, Chief John McGrath.

"From the subject with the rifle, it appears there was probably at least 10 or more rounds that were fired. From the handgun we’re looking at 10 or more as well."

The incident occurred in the parking lot at the FedEx Ground facility where one of the men work — police say they don't think anyone else was around when it happened.
