JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Two 14-years-old were shot just after noon Saturday near a store on East Third Street and Franklin Street, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.
JSO Lt. Mike Silcox said the two victims and another teenager were walking down the street when an SUV drove by and began shooting. The two boys were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.
Neighbors said they heard cars racing down the street and they took cover inside their homes as multiple gunshots went off.
Investigators located 10 shell casings on Franklin Street, East Third and Milnor Street. Detectives are searching for any possible surveillance cameras in the area or witnesses who may have seen the shooting.
News4Jax was shown surveillance video from the store that showed customers going in and out of the store and cars going by at 12:17 p.m. Ten minutes later, a JSO vehicle drove by the store and, shortly after, a fire truck pulled up.
Police are still looking for the gunman. They could not provide a good description of the SUV or the shooter.
