FERNANDINA BEACH, Fla. — *CORRECTION: A previous version of this report incorrectly stated the number of fatalities.

One person is dead and another is hospitalized after a shooting in Nassau County Wednesday morning, according to the Nassau County Sheriff's Office Facebook page.

Police say around 5:30 a.m., the two were shot on Nottingham Drive in Fernandina Beach. NCSO's investigators determined that the two were shot at the scene and were taken to a local hospital where one later died.

One person has been detained as investigators are "currently conducting interviews to determine what happened," according to the Facebook page.

In a video posted to NCSO's Facebook page, Sheriff Bill Leeper says the house on the street where the shooting occurred, police have "been there before" and that it is a quiet neighborhood "other than this house."

The sheriff's office says they are in the early stages of the investigation and will release more information as it becomes available.

The names of the victims have not been released.
