Home Of Jaguars Riddled With Bullets
Municipal Stadium Windows Shot Out
The home of the Jacksonville Jaguars recently became a crime scene after police said someone fired shots into part of Jacksonville Municipal Stadium downtown.
Until the season starts, the Touchdown Club at the stadium sits empty, which is a good thing because someone shot out three windows, shattering the glass.
On Monday, the security company at the stadium found several windows shot out and a bullet wedged in the ceiling.
The damaged windows have been boarded up. However, the bullet wedged in the ceiling is still stuck.
The damage happened on the east side of the stadium and could have been fired from the parking lot.
"If someone had been inside that building, they could have easily gotten seriously injured or killed," said Jacksonville Sheriff's Office spokesman Ken Jefferson.
The JSO is investigating the vandalism, which created estimated damages of about $3,000.
"This is a very dangerous prank, and there's nothing funny about it at all," Jefferson said.
Investigators said they recovered some evidence from the scene, but they are still asking the public for its help.
Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call Crimestoppers at 866-845-TIPS.
