Police say a group of women were involved in an argument that became physical. One of the women involved began shooting out of her car door, according to JSO.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Two men were injured in a shooting Saturday night after an argument among a group of women escalated into violence on the city’s Northside, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.
Sergeant Smith with the Robbery and Violent Crimes Unit said officers responded around 8 p.m. to the 5400 block of Avenue B following reports of a shooting. Shortly after, police were notified that two gunshot victims had arrived at a local hospital by private vehicle.
One man suffered a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to his backside, while the other was shot in the leg. Both are expected to recover.
Investigators say the incident began as a verbal altercation among several women, which turned physical. One group got into a vehicle and left the scene, only to return shortly afterward. A passenger in the vehicle then opened fire into the crowd, striking the two male victims.
Witnesses said the women were possibly driving a Nissan.
JSO’s Crime Scene Unit is processing evidence at the scene, and violent crimes detectives are canvassing the area for surveillance video and additional witnesses.
Anyone with information about the shooting is urged to contact JSO or call the CrimeStoppers hotline at 866-845-TIPS.
