JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A woman is "alert" and conscious Wednesday morning after she was shot while inside her condominium on Jacksonville's Southside, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.
JSO's Sergeant Dukes says "a little after 1 a.m.," officers were notified of the woman that was shot.
The woman in her late-40s was shot at Pottsburg Crossing Condominiums, located at 6700 Bowden Rd., according to Dukes.
Police say the woman may have been shot from outside the condo; she was shot in the "upper body" and was taken to a local hospital in non-life-threatening condition.
"Right now, we have violent crimes detectives on scene conducting a canvass, talking to neighbors, looking for video surveillance," Dukes said. "We also have crime scene detectives on scene, collecting and preserving physical evidence. We do not have a motive, we do not have any suspect information, it's early on the investigation, so we would like to ask the public for any help regarding this."
The shooting appears to have been targeted, Dukes said, but clarified that she did not know whether the woman shot was the intended target as it is still "early on."
Police did not release the identity of the woman.
Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to call JSO's non-emergency number at 904-630-0500 or to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-866-845-TIPS.
