JACKSONVILLE. Fla. — The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office and Duval County School Police continue to investigate a shooting outside a football game. It happened Friday night after the game at First Coast High School.Action News Jax spoke with a mother whose son plays for First Coast High School, she said she has some safety concerns moving forward.
DCPS Police Chief Greg Burton said a decision was made to end the game early around the 3rd quarter because of fighting. Stacey S. is a football mother, who’s son plays for FCHS and saw fights firsthand. It is tremendously disappointing that community violence has impacted one of our high school football games. I am very thankful for the plan that our police put in place in partnership with the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office. That plan and the contingent of officers present very likely prevented a larger tragedy from occurring, and I commend all of the law enforcement officers who were at the game. I also commend the principals of the two schools who made the decision to conclude the game early.
