Police warned public and media to stay away from Jacksonville Landing, a waterfront entertainment complex in the state capital, after at least one gunman opened fire on Sunday afternoon, the reports said.
Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office tweeted: “Mass shooting at the Jacksonville Landing. Stay far away from the area. The area is not safe at this time. STAY AWAY.
“Multiple fatalities at the scene, many transported. #TheLandingMassShooting.”
Police said one suspect was dead at the scene. It was not immediately clear whether the shooting was the work of a single or lone gunman and police asked members of the public to remain inside while SWAT teams searched the area.
