JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A large Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office presence has closed off a Circle K at Central Parkway and St. Johns Bluff Road early Thursday as officers investigate an incident where a person was reported shot, officials said.
The gas station is about a mile from the entrance to the University of North Florida, across from the Shoppes at East Point Landing at the corner of Central Parkway. Authorities had the area taped off and were blocking the front entrance as they worked the scene.

This is not the same Circle K near the Avenues Mall where a man was fatally shot in the head on Wednesday night. Drivers and residents were urged to avoid the area.
This story will be updated as more information becomes available.
