A witness tells us that she and her 28-year-old son were doing laundry when another customer showed up, insisting she wanted to use the same machine they were already using.

The woman said she pointed out that several other machines were empty to the customer, but the customer called her own son to the laundromat, escalating the dispute.

That's when a fight broke out between the two men, and the 28-year-old opened fire, hitting the other man in the arm.

We've been told the man who was shot was taken to the hospital while the suspected shooter was taken into custody.

JOSH: It was just, it was a lot going on. I was just trying to get to safety really, make sure I was good. It was a crowd of people, too," Josh, a barber who works three doors down, said.
