CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Corpus Christi Police on Tuesday identified Anthony Carrington, 42, as the man they believe shot a coworker Monday at the P.F. Chang's restaurant at La Palmera Mall.
Authorities have charged Carrington with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon.
The man who was shot continues to recover at a local hospital. He was listed in serious condition Monday, and Police Chief Mike Markle said he's expected to survive. Police told us the man was shot in his "lower extremities," so below the waist, possibly in the leg.

Police arrested Carrington about 7 miles away at a gas station at the corner of Staples and Leopard streets.
Police later confirmed that Carrington was also wanted for a second shooting on Monday and a bank robbery. As of 2:30 p.m. he faces three additional charges for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon, and aggravated robbery.
