JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Bullet holes could be seen in a window of Jacksonville City Hall Tuesday morning.
The damage is on the fourth floor -- the floor where Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry's office is.
A police report shows a witness, who is the city's public information officer, told police she found 9 mm bullet casings at James Weldon Johnson Park on Monday morning.
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office says they were alerted to the damage to City Hall later on and the incidents are "possibly related."
Curry declined to be interviewed for this story. The Mayor's Office said only: "We are grateful for JSO and they are currently investigating this incident."
"Elected officials are doing their best every single day I mean you just don't want to think that something like that could happen here in Jacksonville." James Weldon Johnson parkgoer, William Haley, said.
Haley and several other parkgoers were shocked to learn about the bullet hole.
On Monday, Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters and Mayor Lenny Curry gathered a huge group of local leaders to deliver a press conference on stopping violence in the city. The address was prompted by the death of 13-year-old Prince Holland, who was shot while inside a car in the Moncrief area of Jacksonville Saturday.
"Jacksonville, we will not, will not, tolerate violence for one more day," Waters said. "We will not rest, we will not tire, we not waver."
On Saturday, Waters spoke during a briefing on the shooting that killed Prince, asking the city, "Can we please stand together? Can we please fight this problem that we're having in this community?"
Former Jacksonville city council member Reggie Gaffney said he believes whoever shot at the window was trying to send a message to city leaders.
"I think it's related, and I think we're not telling them what they want to hear right now, and I'm not sure what that is but as a leader we got to find out what that is because this needs to stop too many innocent people are getting hurt and killed." Gaffney said.
Gaffney added he believes Sheriff T.K. Waters, who has been in office for less than a month, will have the right response.
"We're all in this together I know you're [citizens] frustrated, but I promise you with this Sheriff, I hope, change will come." he added.
City Council Member Matt Carlucci sent First Coast News a statement saying in part "any intentional targeting of City Hall or a desire to commit violence upon city leaders, employees, or citizens is unacceptable and will not be tolerated."
