Two women suffered critical injuries Wednesday morning when they were fired at by an unknown shooter while driving through Springfield, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.
JSO, which did not issue an alert about the shooting at the time, said officers responded at 6:18 a.m. to West 16th Street, west of North Main Street, because of a reported shooting.
When officers arrived, they found three women: one in her 50s, one in her 30s and one in her 20s, injured.
Police said the women were driving on West 16th Street “when gunfire erupted,” hitting the car and two of the women inside. The third woman suffered injuries but was not hit by the gunfire, police said.
The two women who were struck by the gunfire were taken to the hospital by paramedics with the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department and were listed as critical but stable.
JSO did not indicate which of the women were the two hit by gunfire.
