Shots were fired in the parking lot at the Amazon Fulfillment Center in Appling around 5:00 this morning after two employees got into a fight.

Major Steve Morris of the Columbia County Sheriff's Office says 31-year-old Ronnus Rand of Augusta and the mother of his child, 25-year old Kadijah Robinson of Augusta, were on a work break together when they were confronted by Robinson's new boyfriend, 20-year-old Jordan Beale.

Morris says when the fight broke out between the two men, Beale went to his vehicle and got a firearm.  The two men struggled over the weapon and that's when Beale fired several shots.

No one was hurt.  Deputies took Beale into custody and charged him with Aggravated Assault and Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of a Crime.
