The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said a 21-year-old driver of an SUV and four teenage passengers were stopped at the intersection of Moncrief and New Kings roads, when someone shot the SUV “numerous times.”
The driver was listed in critical condition, and an 11-year-old passenger was in stable condition. The other two teens — ages 14 and 15 — were uninjured.
