The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office says the two women started arguing with each other after a fight between “juveniles.”
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — On Wednesday night, a woman was taken into custody following a report from the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office that she had shot another woman during a dispute in Jacksonville’s Eastside area.
JSO Sgt. Mitlyng reported that around 8:20 p.m., patrol officers were dispatched to the 800 block of Franklin Street to look into a shooting incident.
Upon arrival, Mitlyng informed First Coast News that officers discovered a woman, whose identity remains undisclosed, with a gunshot wound that was not life-threatening.
“She was transported to an area hospital in stable condition,” Mitlyng said. “Officers were able to quickly locate the shooter and take her into custody without incident.”
JSO said its initial investigation into the shooting revealed that there was a fight between “juveniles,” which led to the argument between the women. The argument then escalated into shots being fired.
