JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2013 The Jacksonville Sheriff\u2019s Office confirmed that it was investigating a shooting incident on Monday afternoon near Raines High School, prompting the school to go on lockdown.<\/p>\n
Several people have posted on social media that there was a shooting that happened in the neighborhood around 2:45 p.m. near the high school.<\/p>\n
JSO Director of Investigations Edwin Cayenne told News4JAX that the agency received a call about a large group of people getting ready to fight on Raines Viking Way. During that call to dispatch, there were calls that shots were fired.<\/p>\n
Cayenne said multiple people were detained to speak about the incident, but no arrests have been made.<\/p>\n
News4JAX spoke with a neighbor about the aftermath of the shooting.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just thought it was a regular after-school day. I heard something, but I really didn\u2019t pay it any mind. When I went back in my house, I heard screaming and stuff,\u201d she said, stating that when she returned outside, she saw someone shot in the road.<\/p>\n
We also spoke with a parent who said her number one concern was her son\u2019s safety.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m also a previous student of Raines, so I just wanted to make sure all the protocols were followed and that my son was safe,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Jacksonville Fire Rescue confirmed that one person was taken to the hospital in critical condition. Cayenne said that the person was not a student and was in stable condition.<\/p>\n
The school district said all students and staff were safe.<\/p>\n
JSO believes there is no threat to the community at this point.<\/p>\n
This is developing.<\/p>\n
