He has been identified as the father of the two children.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The shooting is believed to have happened outside, in front of the home. Because there were no known eyewitnesses and the mother was receiving critical care, the sheriff&#8217;s office could only say that the shooting was due to a domestic dispute.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The suspect and the victims have not yet been publicly identified by law enforcement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 4-year-old girl is dead, and a toddler and mother are fighting for their lives after being shot&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":325955,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[17338,116,118,117,116455,50743],"class_list":["post-325954","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-jacksonville","tag-gunshot-wounds","tag-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville-headlines","tag-jacksonville-news","tag-michael-paul","tag-news-briefing"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/325954","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=325954"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/325954\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/325955"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=325954"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=325954"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=325954"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
