Wash. lt. gov's son wounded in workplace shooting

The Associated Press

Lt. Gov. Brad Owen says one of his close friends shot Owen's son in a workplace dispute, before apparently shooting himself.

Owen says his son, 37-year-old Mark Owen, is in satisfactory condition after being shot in the stomach and wrist.

Mark Owen works at an auto body business in Kent, south of Seattle. Brad Owen says the shooter was a business partner of his son's, and that the two men had been having some disputes at work.

Police say the shooter inflicted life-threatening injuries by shooting himself in the head. He hasn't been identified.
