– A 6-year-old was killed early Wednesday morning in a triple shooting that left an adult and a 12-year-old injured, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said.
“It’s absolutely heartbreaking,” JSO Assistant Chief J.D. Stronko said. “These are the phone calls that you do not want to get in the middle of the night.” Stronko said officers were called just after 1:45 a.m. to a report that someone had been shot at an apartment complex on King Street.They found an adult and two children with gunshot wounds at the Hollybrook Homes Apartments in Lackawanna.
All three were taken to the hospital, where the 6-year-old died. The adult and 12-year-old have injuries that are not life-threatening, Stronko said. Because of Marsy’s Law, Stronko would not confirm if the adult and two children are related.“We have the best men and women working hard to solve these crimes,” Stronko said, adding that cooperation from the community is essential. “We have a good track record of solving these crimes. We will put all of our resources toward this.
Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call JSO at 904-630-0500 or CrimeStoppers at 1-866-845-TIPS.
