Sgt. Courtney White, with the Arlington Police Department, said officers were dispatched to the shooting call at about 1 p.m. and arrived to find two injured men on the ground.

Police said the men were transported to area hospitals with one in stable condition and the other in critical condition. Police did not reveal the men's identities or any specifics about their injuries.
White confirmed the men were new roommates who'd only been living together about a week but said investigators have not yet determined what led to the argument and gunfire.
Investigators were also working to determine if the shooting took place inside the men's residence or in the parking lot, or both after witnesses told police that the men were heard arguing in both locations.
