In a developing story, authorities say a Chrysler employee fatally stabbed a male co-worker at the Detroit company's Jefferson North assembly plant at around8 a.m. Thursday.
Detroit police Sgt. Alan Quinn told reporters that the suspect fled the factory and then committed suicide at the Belle Isle Park. The unnamed man is said to have died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Chrysler confirmed the incident in a short press statement:"Two employees were involved in an altercation inside the plant. One employee was stabbed and unfortunately pronounced dead at the scene. The Detroit Police Department is currently investigating."
No names have been released yet while it remains unclear what caused the altercation.
Chrysler said that it stopped work at the Jefferson North assembly plant and sent some 3,000 employees home. "Production has been suspended for this morning and employees are being released," said the automaker.
The Detroit automaker manufactures the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango full-size SUVs at the facility.

Looks like someone didn't pay someone for their pot, or perhaps crack!
This seems to be a common occurrence nowadays. Did this sort of thing happen back in the old days?
yes, we used to shoot to kill, now we downgrade to a sharp object, sucks!
Probably the one killed was just like you.
Don't forget Henry Ford had workers killed for going on strike in the "good ol' days".
Robots do not stab each other...they can't arrive as human replacements in production environments soon enough! And they don't smoke pot, have Unions, or take long lunches.
Mamma let you out of your crib.
Two people are dead and all you can think the pot story from years ago.
