The video shows three men walking toward a home before sudden bursts of gunfire ring out, followed by two of them running away.<\/p>\n
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 A Jacksonville woman says she\u2019s thankful to be alive after her home surveillance camera captured the sound of gunfire during what investigators call an attempted home invasion on the city\u2019s Northside.<\/p>\n
The shooting happened around 2 p.m. Thursday on Sixth Avenue in the Riverview area.<\/p>\n
According to the Jacksonville Sheriff\u2019s Office, three masked and armed suspects forced their way into a man\u2019s home and opened fire in what investigators describe as an attempted robbery.<\/p>\n
The homeowner fired back, hitting one of the suspects, officers said.<\/p>\n
Both the homeowner and that suspect were taken to the hospital with injuries. Two other suspects ran from the scene and remain on the run.<\/p>\n
Video shared with First Coast News\u00a0by a neighbor captured the moments before and after the shooting. In the clip, three men can be seen approaching a home before dozens of gunshots ring out.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat was too close,” the neighbor said. “That was real close. The gunshots woke me up out of my sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n
She told First Coast News she had left her front door unlocked just moments before the gunfire started.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt that time my door was unlocked. They could\u2019ve came in, but they didn\u2019t. Thank God for that,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The neighbor says the close call left her shaken, calling it a reminder that \u201ccrime can happen anywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was just an eye opener,\u201d she said. \u201cThese kids these days, they have no regard for life.\u201d<\/p>\n
She also shared a message for the suspects still on the run.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey need some guidance. They need help. They need somebody to show them the right way. That\u2019s not the way to go.\u201d<\/p>\n
JSO believes the incident was isolated. The investigation remains ongoing.<\/p>\n
