Agitated Agent Hickey
Actually, I wasn't the first person to discover this incident between an agent with a "submachine gun" (AKA the AR-15) and an FBI agent. However, I did find an original newspaper source to back it up, and found another account of the incident in Dr. Charles Crenshaw's book.
Apparently Hickey (whom I believe was the agent with the "submachine gun") assaulted an FBI agent at Parkland Hospital.

However, it wasn’t just “an uppercut” that Hickey delivered to the FBI agent. In JFK: Conspiracy of Silence, Dr. Charles A. Crenshaw—one of the Parkland hospital doctors who attended JFK—witnessed the incident. Crenshaw explains that as he was rushing to Trauma Room One to treat Kennedy, “I looked to my left and saw a man in a suit running. To my amazement, another man in a suit jumped in his path and smashed a Thompson sub-machine gun across his chest and face. The first man’s eyes immediately turned glassy, and he fell against a gray tile wall, and slithered to the floor unconscious. When I heard that gun slam against his face, I just knew the man’s jaw was broken. Normally, I would have rushed over and treated the poor guy, but the President of the United States was waiting for me, and his condition was worse than broken bones. I was to learn later that the man with the gun was a Secret Service agent, and the one who had been hit was an FBI agent.” (p. 75) The image apparently stuck with Crenshaw so that he later recounted, “The look on the face of the man with the machine gun still bothered me. I didn’t want to cross paths with him ever again.” (p. 142).
