1 dead, 2 in stable condition after shooting in Jacksonville Beach, Florida
One person is dead and two others are in stable condition following an active shooting situation in Jacksonville Beach, Florida, on Sunday night.
The downtown district/bar area and the beachfront in Jacksonville Beach have been "locked down" after the scene of the incident expanded into that area, Sgt. Tonya Tator said Sunday night. It will remain shut down until further notice, she said.
Authorities are still looking for suspects, Tator said. If anyone knows or sees anything, they are asked to call the Jacksonville Beach Police Dept., she told reporters.
