Someone was just shot in front of the Landing.  I could see him from my office window, just laying there bleeding.

I am, in fact, a dude.  I have no idea what happened, the sexes or races of the perpetrator(s) or victims.  If only there had been a good guy with a gun there to shoot someone else.

apology for the she ... so you were able to see someone laying on the ground with blood and tell it was a guy who had been shot but you couldn't make out the color of their skin or how old they were approximately?

what kind of clothes were they wearing?

news4jax - "...That witness said the two victims walked up to a police officer and asked for protection because it was "fixing to go down." Right after that, gunshots rang out and everyone scattered, the witness said."

"Another source said both victims are believed to be teenagers and that one was shot in the face and the other was hit in the foot."

ANJ said there were comments on Facebook about avoiding the landing because it was going to go down.

JSO spokesperson just said it's one of the safest zones. Still, this won't help the soccer mom at the town center feel better about coming downtown.

As a data scientist/stastician by trade, I certainly know that two random incidents do not equal a trend. That said, what's going on here? Two shootings in one month, potentially involving the same crew(s). Is this a new thing, teenage street gangs hanging out in the urban core? Not a loaded question, I haven't been down that way in a while and I'm genuinely curious, as I'm not used to seeing that demographic randomly loitering in the central business district.

I'm honestly surprised at how many openly bigoted people there are on this forum.

I guess no good guys with a gun were present

Yeah, it's sad really. Seems like every thread becomes an opportunity for people to voice the same stuff over and over again. In this thread, gun control and black crime.

Unfortunately, there is a significant portion of the population that doesn't want to live within the boundaries of societal norms that most of us agree to live by in order to have a safe and functioning society.
