Multiple people have reportedly been killed in a shooting Saturday afternoon in Jacksonville, Florida, according to multiple local media outlets in Jacksonville.
Jacksonville Mayor Donna Deegan reportedly confirmed to several news outlets that there were "multiple fatalities" after a shooting at a store in the area. It's unknown how many others, if any, were injured.
FOX 35 has reached out to Mayor Deegan's Office, the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, and Jacksonville Fire Rescue Department for information, but did not receive an immediate response. Florida State Senator Tracie Davis described Saturday as a "tragic day in Jacksonville" in a tweet. "I’m offering prayers to the families of the victims and am on my way to meet with the sheriff for answers. This type of violence is unacceptable in our communities."
Edwards Water University issued a campus safety alert via its Twitter account confirming there was a "fatal off-campus shooting" on Kings Road, near the University's campus. The University said all campus facilities have been secured and that students were being kept inside their residence halls "until the scene is clear."
