JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — According to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, a woman was taken to the hospital early Sunday morning after a shooting incident at a Red Roof Inn hotel in Jacksonville.

Upon reaching the scene, officers discovered a woman in her 20s who had sustained a single gunshot wound. She was subsequently transported to a nearby hospital for treatment of her injuries, which are not considered life-threatening.
