The two people shot are females in their late-teens, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Two females in their late-teens were hospitalized Thursday night after being shot multiple times during an argument in Northwest Jacksonville, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.
JSO Sgt. Christopher Smith said at approximately 9:15 a.m., officers responded to the 10000 block of Lancashire Drive in reference to the shooting.
When they arrived, the two victims were taken to a local hospital by members of the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department. Smith said one of them suffered gunshot wounds to her chest and both legs, while the other suffered gunshot wounds to her right leg and neck.
Both of the females’ injuries are considered non-life-threatening at this time, according to Smith.
Smith told First Coast News JSO’s initial investigation determined there was an argument between a male and one of the victims. The argument became “heated,” Smith said, which then led to the shooting.
Smith further explained that multiple witnesses were interviewed, and a suspect was taken into custody to be interviewed.
“This does appear to be an isolated incident with no further threat to the community,” Smith said.
Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to call JSO’s non-emergency number at 904-630-0500. To provide information anonymously, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-866-845-TIPS.
