Not much info available at the moment other than that the fight was between two contractors and no guests were involved.

More metal detectors!

I hate how the typed word cant convey sarcasm, because if that is, I am just putting this up for educational purposes.  If the two involved were indeed Contractors, then the use of metal detectors wouldnt be feasible or logistically possible.  The article does not state it was a weapon (i.e. firearm, illegal knife, stun gun, etc) or a "weapon" (i.e. Crescent Wrench, linemans pliers, hammer, etc) that all Contractors have as their essential work tools. 

No wonder the Disney outside contracted legal counsel is so feared. Wrenches into the legal work, they hammer their cases and use the pliers to get best results!

I read something earlier today that said the weapon used was a pair of scissors to the back of the head. I'm having a hard time imagining that as attempted murder (assault certainly), but I guess it depends on the scissors and the force used.

I'm looking for the source, but haven't found it yet. Interestingly, I did learn that clickorlando.com has an entire news subsection for "Zimmerman."

Ok, found the article I read: http://orlandoinformer.com/blog/police-called-altercation-between-contractors-universal/

There is also some extra info in the comments of that article. If the extent of the injuries /are/ that bad (according to the comments, his skull was pierced several inches), I can see it being charged as attempted murder.

Initial reports listed the victim as being in critical condition, so I'd imagine it was pretty serious.

Fired artist had tried to kill former boss with scissors in the neck:

Wow.  That is pretty scary stuff.  Hopefully the victim is able to make a full and total recovery. 

 

It is sickening to thing what some people will do out of anger.  The company/bosses probably had a good reason for letting him go.
