Jacksonville, Fla. — An early-morning shooting on Jacksonville’s Westside sent a man to the hospital.
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office was called to a home on Dylan Michael Drive around 4 a.m. Sunday.
Investigators said the victim was followed home from a nightclub. When he got home, the suspect showed a gun. The victim, who was also armed, fired several shots, hitting the suspect in the arm.
The suspect left the area but was found a short time later and taken to the hospital.
JSO said everyone involved in the incident has been detained. No arrests have been reported at this point.
Maybe he thought he was cute. /s
“An early-morning shooting on Jacksonville’s Westside...”
-
Speaking as a long time J’ville resident......If I had a nickel for every time I heard that. 😏
.....”...The victim, who was also armed, fired several shots, hitting the suspect in the arm.....”
ya obviously need more range time, dude.......!!
He was trying to shoot the gun out of the suspect’s hand! LOL!
I’ll call this FMFAFO - Florida Man F-Around and Find Out.
“Florida is a permitless carry state.”
Florida is a permitless CONCEALED carry state.
legislature is working on open carry.
Maybe accurate without the "/s" as well.
You ever been in this situation?
If not, you’ve got no real right to say that.
Lot more then “range Time” in this scenario.
I grew up in Ortega. Yup.
Grew up in San Jose Forest. Yep from my perspective as well. Its not as bad as say, Moncrief. The West side is better known for drunken fist fights than actual shootings but.....
I was cutting a rug
Down at place called The Jug
With a girl named Linda Lou
When in walked a man
With a gun in his hand
And he was looking for you know who
He said, “Hey there, fellow
With the hair colored yellow
Whatcha tryin’ to prove?
‘Cause that’s my woman there
And I’m a man who cares
And this might be all for you”
I said, “excuse me?”
I was scared and fearing for my life
I was shaking like a leaf on a tree
‘Cause he was lean, mean
Big and bad, Lord
Pointin’ that gun at me
“Oh, wait a minute, mister
I didn’t even kiss her
Don’t want no trouble with you
And I know you don’t owe me
But I wish you’d let me
Ask one favor from you”
“Oh, won’t you
Gimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister
Gimme three steps towards the door?
Gimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister
And you’ll never see me no more”
For, sure
Well the crowd cleared away
And I began to pray
And the water fell on the floor
And I’m telling you, son
Well, it ain’t no fun
Staring straight down a forty-four
Well, he turned and screamed at Linda Lou
And that’s the break I was looking for
And you could hear me screaming a mile away
As I was headed out toward your door
“Oh, won’t you
Gimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister
Gimme three steps towards the door?
Gimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister
And you’ll never see me no more”
Show me the back door
“Westside” is all I need to hear. 😏
Some of Ortega is still really nice......Ortega Woods however.....😏
Northside as well.....Jacksonville is an “equal opportunity” town. 😏
Yes I’m from Jax and some things never change. 😉
Speaking as another long-time Jax resident, I know where not to go!
MUCH safer, and your longevity is assured, if you do not go to certain “NoGo” areas, particularly at night.
Every Democrat is in favor of the robbery. They are literally pro-robber. All of them.
