When the teens handed them over and ran away, the two men then opened fire, shooting one teen in the hand and the other in the arm. Both are expected to survive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jsuuLb body-paragraph\">After that, at around 1 a.m. on Sunday, a shooting on Monaco Drive in Jacksonville\u2019s Highlands area, where a woman was walking, was approached by an unknown person and shot in the head, but is expected to survive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jsuuLb body-paragraph\">Then, around 3 a.m. near Edgewood Ave and West Beaver Street, the Jacksonville Sheriff\u2019s Office says a man was found shot in the chest, now in critical condition.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jsuuLb body-paragraph\">Finally, also around 3 a.m., on Gate Parkway West, a man in his mid-20s was shot and killed, with the suspect yet to be identified and police still working to figure out what led up to the shooting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jsuuLb body-paragraph\">Neighbors at the Citigate Apartments, where the shooting happened, say they never would have expected a shooting in their typically quiet community.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jsuuLb body-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.actionnewsjax.com\/live-breaking\/\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.actionnewsjax.com\/live-breaking\/\" target=\"_blank\"><b>&gt;&gt;&gt; STREAM ACTION NEWS JAX LIVE <\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jsuuLb body-paragraph\">\u201cI was born and raised in Chicago, and you hear about stuff like that happening in the city all the time,\u201d explained Trisha Bundhoo, a Citigate resident. \u201cI never thought I would be experiencing that moving to Jacksonville, for sure.
