New surveillance video shows the terrifying moments when gunfire erupted during a home invasion in Jacksonville\u2019s Riverview neighborhood. One resident was shot, and multiple homeowners say they were frightened by the chaos as dozens of shots rang out.<\/p>\n
Action News Jax obtained surveillance footage recorded just seconds before the shooting.<\/p>\n
The video shows three suspects walking in front of a Ring camera in the Riverview neighborhood. Moments later, about 15 gunshots can be heard. After the shots, the suspects run to the side of the house, directly in front of the camera. Their black hoodies are pulled up and their faces are covered as they are heard talking to each other while running away. Two of the suspects later run back in front of the camera again before fleeing.<\/p>\n
Nearby homeowners said they were caught off guard by the sudden violence.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was in there looking at TV then after 2 o\u2019clock, I heard the shots. I saw two guys were running they were wearing black outfits,\u201d one anonymous homeowner said.<\/p>\n
