A man was hospitalized with a gunshot wound early Sunday, marking the latest shooting in the Tallahassee area following a violent stretch of gunfire across the capital city.
The Leon County Sheriff’s Office received a call around 7 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 1, about an adult man who had arrived at a hospital off Thomasville Road with a gunshot wound, an LCSO spokesperson told the Tallahassee Democrat.
The man’s injuries were not considered life-threatening.
Authorities did not immediately know where or how the man was shot, and no other details about the circumstances surrounding the shooting were immediately available.

The investigation comes after a particularly violent end to October in Tallahassee.
Early Saturday, a man was shot and killed at Jackson Lodge on Apalachee Parkway. Tallahassee police later arrested a 25-year-old man on a second-degree murder charge in connection with the killing.
Sunday’s shooting brings the toll to at least 17 people shot in seven incidents since Oct. 24, though police determined one was an accidental discharge and another was a Stand Your Ground case.
The violent stretch began Oct. 24 with the mass shooting near Florida A&M University’s Bragg Memorial Stadium following the university’s homecoming football game, in which 11 people were injured, including six children.Gunfire was reported again the following evening at a Walgreens in northeast Tallahassee, though police and prosecutors quickly determined it was a “Stand Your Ground” case that began in the parking lot after a man “aggressively approached” another man, who allegedly shot him in self-defense.
A man was also wounded the next next morning in a shooting in the 1000 block of Bronough Street. Few details are known about that incident.Then, on Oct. 27, a person was wounded at the West 10 student apartments on West Tennessee Street. Police later determined that shooting was an accidental discharge rather than an intentional shooting, according to previous Democrat reporting.
On Wednesday, Oct. 28, another man was critically wounded in a shooting at Magnolia Terrace Apartments on Magnolia Drive. A witness said a man was shot in the head by someone in a vehicle before the car sped off.
So far this year, 14 people have been killed and 48 have been injured in at least 53 serious shootings in the capital city and Leon County, according to a Tallahassee Democrat analysis of gun violence that tracks incidents involving injury, death or a clear risk of serious harm.
Sunday’s shooting is being investigated by the Leon County Sheriff’s Office, rather than Tallahassee police. Because investigators have not yet determined where the man was wounded, it was not immediately clear whether the shooting occurred within Tallahassee city limits or elsewhere in Leon County.
Police said the investigation remains ongoing and asked anyone with information about the incidents to call Crime Solvers anonymously at 850-574-TIPS. Tipsters can also provide information by phone at www.leoncountyso.com/Contact-Us/Submit-a-crime-tip
