(NEW YORK) —  Two contractors were shot by a co-worker while they were installing playground equipment at a Kansas elementary school Tuesday morning, police said.

The victims, both men who are not school employees, were hospitalized in critical condition after the incident at Sunrise Point Elementary School in Overland Park, Overland Park police spokesman John Lacy said at a news conference.

The shooting was the result of an argument between one worker and the two victims, police said.

School is out of session and no children were on the property at the time, police said.

The shooting is connected to two other subsequent crime scenes, according to Lacy.

After the shooting, the suspect got into a car at the elementary school, tried to carjack a car at another location but failed, and then successfully carjacked a black Denali at a third location, police said.

The car has since been found but the suspect remains at-large, police said. Authorities are aware of the suspect’s identity but did not release it.

The carjacking victim is OK, police added.
