The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office is investigating a shooting that happened on the city’s Westside.<\/p>\n
JSO says it happened around 3:40 Friday morning off the 3100 block of 20th Street West.<\/p>\n
They said they arrived on scene to find a man in his mid-30’s shot multiple times in both of his arms and his back.<\/p>\n
That man was taken to a local hospital, and his injuries are reported as non-life-threatening.<\/p>\n
JSO says the shooting happened after two masked men broke into the home.<\/p>\n
They said there was a brief struggle between one of the suspects and the victim.<\/p>\n
JSO said detectives with their robbery and violent crime unit were interviewing witnesses and canvassing for surveillance video.<\/p>\n
One Jacksonville resident for over 30 years says this is why she stays prepared.<\/p>\n
“I would hope that they had weapons in their home to be for self-defense,” she said. “If anybody broke into our home, you know, we’re prepared.”<\/p>\n
She says the idea of someone breaking into her home is scary, especially as someone with a family.<\/p>\n
“Have protection, either a dog or a gun,” she said. “Protecting yourself is the main thing because they don’t care when they break into your home \u2014 they’re coming in.”<\/p>\n
JSO says the community’s assistance is critical in this investigation. They’re encouraging anyone with information to contact the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office at 904-630-0500, email JSOCRIMETIPS@JAXSHERIFF.ORG, or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-866-845-TIPS.<\/p>\n
