JACKSONVILLE (CBSMiami/AP) — A plethora of shots were fired in what police describe as a shootout in Northern Florida.
One man has died and another was wounded in a shooting that police say involved the firing of at least 50 shots.
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said Sunday the search was on for suspects in what they described as a gun battle that broke out around 6 p.m. Saturday. Authorities say the shootout involved multiple weapons of different calibers.
The identities of the men who were killed and wounded were not immediately released. A bullet-riddled car was found abandoned at a nearby gas station.
