Blair was taken to UF Health Jacksonville with non-life-threatening injuries. She was not able to tell police anything about what happened.

Officers looked at surveillance video from the store, and it showed two young men coming in and one of them pointing and shooting a handgun inside the store. Both men then fled on foot.

Burns said investigators found multiple shell casings in the area. He said police have a person of interest who might have been a witness, but no one has been taken into custody for the shooting.
