Construction Worker Pulls Gun During Argument

Police are looking for a construction worker who reportedly pulled a gun during an argument near Crystal City.

Initial reports suggest other construction workers were able to wrestle the gun away from the man after he brandished it during an argument at a construction site at Old Jefferson Davis Highway and S. Clark Street.

The man fled on foot wearing an orange reflective vest and a hard hat, which police have since located. Police are setting up a perimeter to try to find the man.

It’s unclear if the man was working at the Long Bridge Park construction site or on one of several other projects in the area.
