The Leon County Sheriff’s Office is investigating after a person was shot multiple times in northwest Tallahassee Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n
Deputies responded to the 1200 block of Elm Road off West Tennessee Street at about 5 p.m. after receiving a report of a shooting. Upon arrival, they found one victim who had been shot.<\/p>\n
LCSO spokesperson Javonni Hampton said the injuries were serious. LCSO has identified a suspect, though the suspect is not in custody at this time.<\/p>\n
It is not clear if the suspect and victim are known to each other, Hampton said.<\/p>\n
“We do not believe this is anything where a person is attempting to threaten anyone else,” she told the Democrat.<\/p>\n
No other details, including the gender and age of the victim and the circumstances of the shooting, are available at this time.<\/p>\n
The incident remains under active investigation. Detectives are working to identify the individual or individuals involved, the sheriff\u2019s office said.<\/p>\n
