JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — An 18-year-old man was shot Wednesday night while trying to take a gun from another man accused of shooting it in the air at Charles Clark Park in Northwest Jacksonville, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.

According to JSO Sgt. Smith, just before 10 p.m. Wednesday, officers were called to UF Health hospital in reference to the 18-year-old being shot. Smith said he suffered a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to his left leg.
