JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. \u2014 A man was hospitalized in critical, but stable condition early Monday morning after being shot with a shotgun in Jacksonville Beach, according to the Jacksonville Beach Police Department.<\/p>\n
Around 12:16 a.m., Chief Gene Smith said officers responded to a home located in the 900 block of 4th Avenue in reference to the man being shot.<\/p>\n
Upon arrival, Smith said officers found the man with an apparent gunshot wound to his abdomen, lying on the ground in front of a home.<\/p>\n
